Manchester United to rival Liverpool for Raphinha?

Manchester United could battle Liverpool for the signature of Leeds United attacker Raphinha, according to a report.

Manchester United could allegedly battle Liverpool for the signature of Leeds United attacker Raphinha during this summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for the Whites during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring four times and contributing four assists in 17 Premier League appearances.

A recent report claimed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had identified the Brazilian as his leading transfer target, having been impressed with his form since arriving in England last year.

However, according to the Manchester Evening News, United could be prepared to rival the Reds for Raphinha, who is thought to still have a close relationship with Bruno Fernandes, having played alongside the Portugal international at Sporting Lisbon.

Leeds would be in a strong position when it comes to any potential negotiations, though, as they have the right-sided attacker on a contract until June 2024.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has allegedly been promised transfer funds to improve his squad during this summer's transfer window.
