- Manchester United are set to rival Bayern Munich for Marco Verratti
- The midfielder, who has an agreement with Al-Ahli, is free to leave PSG
Manchester United and Bayern Munich have both shown interest in Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti.
As reported by L’Equipe, Verratti is free to leave PSG this summer having been told by manager Luis Enrique and sporting director Luis Campos that he is surplus to requirements.
Verratti has an agreement with Al-Ahli, but the Saudi Arabian side have yet to agree a deal with PSG.
A deal for Verratti could be done for around £51million (€60million).
Verratti wasn’t involved in PSG’s first two league games of the season.

United manager Erik ten Hag wants to make further signings before the transfer window closes
United have already invested significantly this summer, bringing in Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana and Mason Mount.
However, Erik ten Hag’s side are certainly in need of further reinforcements and the experienced Verratti could be a useful option.
30-year-old Verratti has two years remaining on his contract at PSG.
Since joining PSG in 2012, the Italian midfielder has made more than 400 appearances for the club.
Verratti has won the Ligue 1 title nine times and the Coupe de France on six occasions.
