Manchester United, Liverpool to battle for RB Salzburg striker Patson Daka?

Manchester United have reportedly joined Premier League rivals Liverpool in showing an interest in Red Bull Salzburg striker Patson Daka.

The 21-year-old starred for the Austrian outfit last season, scoring 24 goals in 31 games as they won their domestic league for the seventh year in a row despite losing Erling Braut Haaland to Borussia Dortmund in January.

Daka played against Liverpool in the Champions League last season and more recently impressed against Jurgen Klopp's side in a pre-season friendly, scoring twice in a 2-2 draw.

The Daily Mail reports that Liverpool have been mulling over a move but could now face competition from Manchester United, who have also identified the forward as a possible target.

Salzburg are thought to want at least £20m for Daka, who only signed a new five-year contract last year.

Current Liverpool players Sadio Mane, Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino have all featured for Salzburg in the past.
