Manchester United are stepping up their bid for Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Ante Rebic.

The Mirror says United are preparing a £44million bid for Croatia forward Rebic.

The Eintracht Frankfurt star played his part in helping Croatia reach the World Cup Final in Russia.

And he has emerged as a possible target for United boss Jose Mourinho, according to reports in Italy.

Rebic committed the most fouls during this summer's tournament but did score against Argentina in the group stage.

The 24-year-old began his career at RNK Split before spells at Fiorentina, RB Leipzig, Verona and finally in Frankfurt.
