Liverpool, Man City threaten Mourinho plans for PSG fullback Aurier

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho must fight off growing competition to secure a deal for PSG fullback Serge Aurier.

It emerged last week that Mourinho had made direct contact with Aurier about a summer move to Manchester - and the Ivorian was enthusiastic about the prospect.

However, Le Parisian says Mourinho's move has flushed out rival interest - mainly from the Premier League.

Manchester City and Liverpool are also now in contact.

City boss Pep Guardiola is targeting Aurier as he prepares to allow both Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta to come off contract.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, is a fan of Aurier and believes his versatility would be an ideal addition.

The Ivory Coast international can play at fullback and in the middle of a back four.
