Manchester United 'are prepared to rival Manchester City in pursuit of AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer'.

The Algerian international is highly sought-after and PSG are also among the clubs to retain an interest in the 22-year-old, who has a £45million release clause.

According to Actu Foot and La Source Parisienne, United have now entered the race to recruit Bennacer this summer.

Bennacer was awarded Player of the Tournament in the African Cup of Nations last year in which his side triumphed.

Pep Guardiola has reportedly spoken to the former French youth international over the phone to convince him the Etihad is where his future lies.
