Report: Manchester United join Sami Khedira race

Manchester United have reportedly joined the race for Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira, who is nearing the end of his contract.

The German international's current agreement with Los Blancos expires next summer and as a result, he is free to discuss terms with interested parties in January.

Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti recently confirmed that the 27-year-old would not leave in January, but talks over a new deal have indeed stalled.

Arsenal and Chelsea were said to be in the driving seat, but according to the Daily Mail, United are now firmly in the race.

Khedira has struggled to force his way into Ancelotti's first XI this season.
