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.
Real Madrid 'eyeing move for Aymeric Laporte'

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in bringing Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte to the Bernabeu during this summer's transfer window.
Los Blancos could be in the market for at least one new centre-back ahead of next season, with the futures of both Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane unclear.
A number of players, including Bayern Munich's David Alaba and Sevilla's Jules Kounde, have been linked with moves to the Spanish capital this summer.
However, according to the Daily Star, Laporte has also been identified by Zinedine Zidane's side as a potential arrival, with the 26-year-old losing his spot in City's first XI.
Laporte has started three of his side's last four Premier League matches but is now behind Ruben Dias and John Stones in the pecking order when it comes to the centre-back spots at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite falling out of favour, it is thought that Madrid would have to come up with an offer in the region of £57m to convince the Citizens to part with the Frenchman this summer.
Laporte made 222 appearances for Athletic Bilbao before joining Pep Guardiola's team in 2018.
