Manchester United join Bayern in the race to sign Gonzalo Higuain

Manchester United are prepared to challenge the likes of Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain for Gonzalo Higuain‘s signature, according to a report in Italy.

The Red Devils are expected to bolster their attacking ranks in the summer, with Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial the only senior strikers currently at the club.

Teenage centre-forward Marcus Rashford has recently burst on to the scene, but his ability to continue the form that has seen him score four goals in two games remains uncertain.

As a result, Corriere Dello Sport have claimed that Napoli frontman Higuain tops the Old Trafford-based outfit’s wishlist.

The report adds that the 28-year-old, who has scored 25 Serie A goals this term, is valued at around £62m.
