Manchester United are rivaling Liverpool for Lille midfielder Renato Sanches.

It's emerged in Italy that Liverpool have agreed an €18m fee with LOSC for the Portugal international.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport says United have joined the race to sign Sanches.

Sanches has revived his career with Lille and is wanted by Liverpool as a replacement for contract rebel Georginio Wijnaldum.

But it's now suggested United will challenge their Northwest rivals for his signature.
