Manchester United are set to compete with Real Madrid to land the signature of Juanlu Sanchez from Sevilla, according to AS.
The 21-year-old has had an impressive year for club and country. He has established himself as a regular starter for the La Liga outfit and has also made a good impression at the national level.
Sanchez was recently part of Spain's Olympic squad in Paris. He was consistent with his performances and stood out in the semi-final against Morocco, scoring a late winning goal.
It is now reported that the Spaniard has caught the eye of the Red Devils and they are prepared to go head-to-head with Madrid, who are long-term admirers of the versatile playmaker.
Sanchez has the ability to play at right-back or in the centre of the park. In the current campaign, he has operated from the heart of the midfield for Sevilla, providing a single assist.
The youngster has a low release clause worth €20 million in his contract and it remains to be seen whether United trigger the fee in January or at the end of the season.
