Man Utd join Saido Berahino chase

Manchester United look set to provide stiff competition to Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino.

The 22-year-old had been tipped to make his way to White Hart Lane in the summer, but the Baggies' hierarchy stood firm in their aim to keep hold of their star asset.

Recent reports have claimed that the former England Under-21 international has had a compromise with chairman Jeremy Peace to remain at the Hawthorns for the season.

However, The Express now cites that the Red Devils are ready to battle it out with Spurs for one of England's most promising strikers in January.

Berahino has scored three goals for the Baggies this term.
