Both Manchester United and Everton are keen to recruit top scout Eduardo Macia.

Reports suggest that the highly-rated Spaniard could become the subject of a tug-of-war between the Red Devils and Toffees.

Marcia worked at United's fierce rivals and Everton's local enemies Liverpool for four years where he helped sign the likes of Javier Mascherano, Fernando Torres and Raheem Sterling and it is believed that a return to the Premier League is of interest.

The 42-year-old is wanted at Old Trafford to head Jose Mourinho's new setup while ambitious Everton are hoping to lure him to Goodison Park along with a big-name European manager.
