Manchester United are battling Juventus for Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio.

Mundo Deportivo says United are among the favourites to land Asensio.

The Spanish international is eyeing a move away from the Bernabeu in order to guarantee regular first team football ahead of November's World Cup.

Juventus are also keen on the 26-year-old attacking midfielder, who is said to have had a number of offers from abroad.

Asensio scored ten goals in 31 LaLiga appearances for Real last term. He has a year to run on his contract.
