Manchester United join Leicester City in the race to sign Ahmed Musa

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a bid for CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa. Leicester City have also been strongly linked with a move for the Nigerian international, who has scored 10 goals in 29 games for his Russian club this season.

It is believed that Leicester launched a £15m bid for the 23-year-old earlier this week, but were informed that it would cost closer to £19m to open discussions.

According to Sky Sports News, Man United, who face a battle to finish in the top four in the Premier League this season, have joined the race for the speedy attacker.

Musa, who played against Man United in the group stages of this season’s Champions League, joined CSKA from Dutch side VVV-Venlo in 2012.
