Manchester United could spend another transfer window battling it out with La Liga titans Barcelona - as both clubs are keen to land the signature of Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi.
Last summer saw the two teams spend the entire window trying to do business directly with each other over the potential sale of Barca star Frenkie de Jong. However, a deal failed to materialise despite the fact the two clubs agreed a fee at one stage.
The landscape has changed this window and United and Barcelona will be going head-to-head for a player that doesn't belong to either of them - yet. Spanish outlet AS, per Sport Witness, recently claimed that the Red Devils are mulling over the idea of triggering the 23-year-old midfielder's £51million release clause.
