Manchester United are currently pushing ahead with their efforts to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, according to Sky Germany.
Manager Michael Carrick wants to bring the German international to Old Trafford, and director of recruitment Christopher Vivell is in close contact with his representatives.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid also want Nmecha, and Man United are desperate to win the race to sign him.
The Dortmund star has been one of the best players for Germany at the ongoing World Cup, scoring one goal in the 7-1 win over Curacao and grabbing the second assist in a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast.
Dortmund are unwilling to let Nmecha leave and are counting on him for next season.
Man United are set to miss out on West Ham United’s Mateus Fernandes as they are unwilling to pay the asking price.
They want around £80 million for the Portuguese, which has dissuaded the Red Devils and given Tottenham Hotspur the chance to move to the front of the queue.
Man United are now looking elsewhere, and Nmecha could be a concrete target if they are ready to pay what the Bundesliga club want.
The former Man City man could be open to joining the Red Devils, but getting a deal done may prove tricky given the other suitors in the race and Dortmund’s current stance.
