Manchester United face competition for Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng.

United have opened discussions with the German giants for the former Manchester City defender.

But Kicker says Arsenal - and Paris Saint-Germain - could emerge as rivals for his signature.

United, who lost to Bayern in their final pre-season friendly on Sunday night, have also been linked with moves for Leicester's Harry Maguire and Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld.

But Boateng appears to have jumped to the front of manager Jose Mourinho's wanted queue.
