Manchester United will compete with Chelsea for Everton defender Jack Rodwell.
The News of the World says both clubs see the elegant midfielder as a key target and are willing to force the Toffees' hand with lucrative offers.
Chelsea have already bid £14m for the starlet, with United valuing him at £16m.
But with Goodison boss David Moyes desperate to keep hold of the brightest talent to come out of the academy since Wayne Rooney, it will take around £20m to prise 18-year-old Rodwell away.
