Feyenoord right-back Rick Karsdorp made an impression on Manchester United earlier this season, helping the Dutch side to a victory over Jose Mourinho’s men in the Europa League.
This led to The Mirror reporting in December that United were eyeing a £15 million move for the 22-year-old talent.
Now the Red Devils face ominous competition for his signature from German giants Bayern Munich.
Tuttomercatoweb report Bayern have sent scouts to watch him in action with a view to a summer move.

The report says Bayern are hopeful of doing a deal for the defender, who has been a regular for Feyenoord over the past three seasons.
Bayern’s interest is a serious threat to United’s transfer hopes, as they have found out to their cost with regard to Thiago Alcantara, Arturo Vidal and Renato Sanches.
Karsdorp is a Netherlands international and a bright prospect, and it is little wonder the two top clubs are interested.
