Man United 'plotting move' for £50m star who Mo Salah's made his feelings clear about

Manchester United are looking to hijack Liverpool's move for Omar Marmoush, who Mohamed Salah has already hailed as "incredible".

The Eintracht Frankfurt goalscorer has been turning heads this season, netting 11 times in as many Bundesliga games. His prowess in front of goal has catapulted Frankfurt into the thick of an unexpected title race, with the team currently breathing down the neck of table-toppers Bayern Munich.

The 25-year-old's scintillating run of form hasn't gone unnoticed, with heavyweight clubs across Europe keeping track of his progress. Liverpool are thought to be front-runners, especially with Marmoush's Egyptian team-mate Salah reportedly recommending him to his club – but United are now seemingly in the hunt too.

According to Sky Sports Germany, United are monitoring Marmoush's situation closely and are contemplating an approach for him in the January transfer window bid. Frankfurt's asking price reportedly hangs around £50million, but this valuation is poised to inflate if a tug-of-war ensues.

Forward Marmoush could be seen as a cheaper alternative to United-linked Viktor Gyokeres, who reportedly has a release clause of £83m. Many are tipping the Red Devils to be active in the January market to afford newly-appointed head coach Ruben Amorim the opportunity to sculpt the squad more to his liking, especially considering his fondness for three-at-the-back systems.

It's understood the former Sporting coach wants to bring a wing-back or two, but reinforcements could be made all over the pitch
