Manchester United are aiming to beat Liverpool in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha this summer, according to Sky Sport Germany. The Red Devils have already landed a new midfielder in Ederson from Atalanta.

United are weighing up a new marquee midfielder too. West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes is a prime target, but the £85 million price tag is proving prohibitive.

Hence, they are exploring alternatives and are now in contact with Nmecha's representative, who could be prised away for around £70 million, according to The Daily Mail. He is said to welcome the Red Devils' interest and it remains to be seen whether they make a formal approach for him in the coming days.
