Man Utd In Pole Position To Sign 24-Year-Old Liverpool Target

Premier League giants Manchester United are said to be the front-runners in the keenly contested race to sign highly rated Paris Saint Germain (PSG) midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

This is according to the latest reports emanating from the media in Spain.

Adrien Rabiot will be a free agent on the 1st of July when his PSG contract expires.

According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United are the favourites to sign the Liverpool target ahead of their arch rivals.

Apart from Manchester United and Liverpool, the young midfielder has also been linked with the Spanish La Liga duo of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Other Premier League teams like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are also in the running.

Adrien Rabiot was previously on the payroll of Premier League champions Manchester City before his transfer to France.

The 24-year-old could be the direct replacement for Ander Herrera at Manchester United after the Spanish international left the club this summer.

Ander Herrera is closing in on a move to PSG having already agreed a four-year deal at the Parc des Princes.

Ironically, the Spaniard is expected to be the replacement for Adrien Rabiot at PSG.

Rabiot was banned from the PSG first team for the second half of the season following his contract stance with the club.
