Manchester United 'to rival Liverpool for £90m Kai Havertz'

Manchester United have reportedly joined the race for Bayer Leverkusen attacker Kai Havertz, with the Red Devils prepared to battle the likes of Liverpool for the German's signature.

The 20-year-old scored 20 times in 42 appearances for Leverkusen last season, while he has struck twice in seven outings for the German club in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign.

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move for the attacker alongside the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

However, according to The Express, the Red Devils are also in the hunt for the Germany international, who is valued in the region of £90m by senior figures at the BayArena.

Havertz, who came through the youth system at Die Werkself, is contracted to his current club until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

The youngster largely operates in a central attacking position, although he has played right wing for Leverkusen in the early stages of the season.
