Manchester United have entered the race for Eljif Elmas as the North Macedonian midfielder continues to attract attention following a highly impressive season on loan at Napoli.

Napoli currently hold an option to sign Elmas permanently from RB Leipzig for €16m, but the Italian club’s management remains hesitant to trigger the clause at that specific figure.
