MANCHESTER UNITED have joined Arsenal in the race to land wantaway Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to reports.
The Frenchman is free to leave the Italian champions this summer despite only having joined from Paris Saint-Germain a year ago.
Rabiot, 25, has only managed 11 Serie A starts after struggling to cement his role in Juve’s congested midfield.
And now boss Maurizio Sarri will offload if he receives an offer in the region of £27million.
According to Gazzetto dello Sport, United are looking to make their move and have already held talks with his mother Veronique who acts as his agent.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to bolster his squad when the transfer window opens and sees Rabiot as a bargain buy.
It is also suggested that United have sent scouts to watch him in action on several occasions over the campaign.
But Solskjaer faces competition from Arsenal who have a long-standing interest in the player.
Rabiot is believed to be so unhappy at Juventus that he has refused a return to training following the easing of lockdown measures.
He still has four years remaining on his Juventus deal after he joined them for free from PSG last summer.
Former Juventus man Alessio Tacchinardi further ignited rumours of his departure by admitting he would sell Rabiot and raise funds to sign Paul Pogba.
He told Tuttosport: “In order to get Pogba back, I would let Rabiot and Ramsey go, even if the Welshman did show a few signs of life in the last few games.”
