Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Dries Mertens to discuss a free transfer move next summer.
Inter Milan have been tipped to sign the Belgian playmaker at the end of the season.
But, according to TuttoMercatoWeb , the Red Devils and Borussia Dortmund are set to provide stern competition for his signature.
They claim United have already made contact with Mertens' representatives to discuss a potential deal, with the player free to talk to other clubs in January and sign a pre-contract agreement.
Inter remain the favourites to land Mertens, with Antonio Conte keen to bolster his attacking options and link up Romelu Lukaku with his Belgium team-mate.
Reports from Belgium claim Mertens is keen to stay in Italy, where he has scored 88 goals in 219 Serie A games since joining Napoli from PSG in 2013.
United are keen to add attacking reinforcements.

Some claims that Manchester United is no longer a big team.. and I just don’t get it why they link every player to United if it’s not big anymore. The are using this club as a platform to promote their players. Other teams only go after players when they hear that United are after them, which in most cases it’s entirely biased. Shame on the agents who pay this journalist to write crap..

make this possible rather than signing Haaland, he's not that fast and he's lagging pace, u can't compare Austrian league and premiere league so please sign Mertens he can play anywhere up front he can dribble past defenders and a goal poacher as for me Mertens would suite ManUtd playing style. so please ManUtd try your best to sign Mertens even if it means swapping him with Alexis before his contract expires at Napoli before summer.
