Manchester United have made their move for Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt.
BILD's football chief Christian Falk says United have contacted De Ligt's agents over a potential transfer in a bid to hijack Chelsea's move.
De Ligt has been in talks with Chelsea over a potential £76.5million move.
The Dutchman is also keen to see whether Bayern Munich can strike a deal with Juve.
But according Falk, United have contacted De Ligt's agents to register their interest.
United have tracked the 22-year-old's progress since his Ajax days.
And their interest has flared up again with former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag taking control of the reins at Old Trafford.
