Manchester United have already been told timeline to beat Man City to £51m next transfer

Manchester United have been credited with an interest in RB Leipzig's attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, and they could be set to do battle with neighbours Manchester City for his signature.

Olmo, 26, has scored three goals and registered two assists in the tournament and has played a key role in Spain setting up a European Championship final clash with England in Berlin on Sunday.

The former Dinamo Zagreb star also scored eight goals and registered five assists for Leipzig last term and it is reported that Bayern Munich are also interested in him this summer.
