Manchester City are looking to rival neighbours Manchester United for the signature of Kalvin Phillips, according to reports.
United are in need of a major squad overhaul this summer for new manager Erik ten Hag, with the midfield in particular need of reinforcement. Their options in the middle of the park are meagre as it is and they will lose both Paul Pogb a and Nemanja Matic when their contracts expire at the end of the season.
United have been crying out for a new defensive-midfielder especially for years but have instead repeatedly spent lavishly elsewhere. Thankfully, the need for one has finally been realised and has been made a priority this summer.
