Manchester United are ready to challenge Barcelona as both clubs eye Real Sociedad star Martín Zubimendi.
The Spanish midfielder has already become a key figure for his club with his performances attracting attention from Europe's heavyweights. Xavi is a big admirer of Zubimendi, who has been capped for his country, and wants to bring him to the Nou Camp.
United though are also tracking the 23-year-old, according to Mundo Deportivo, as they consider making more additions to their midfield ranks. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen were added in the summer, but Zubimendi would offer some added youth to Erik ten Hag's outfit.
