MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly been joined in the race for Milan Skriniar by Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain.
Fresh off the heels of a £40million deal for Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek, Italian outlet CalcioMercato claims the Red Devils are now targeting Inter Milan centre-back Skriniar.

The 25-year-old Slovakian ace is regarded as one of the best defenders in Europe.
And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer apparently sees him as the perfect fit to play alongside Harry Maguire.
However, United – who are also keen on Bayern Munich’s Thiago Alcantara – face stiff competition for Skiniar’s signature.
It’s reckoned PSG are firmly in the hunt after letting Thiago Silva leave on a free transfer for Chelsea.
Spurs are also monitoring the situation following Jan Vertonghen’s move to Benfica.
But United have been keeping tabs on Skriniar since July.
And they could soon launch an official bid despite being linked with RB Leipzig star Dayot Upamecano.
United also remain in the market for a new winger.
Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho is their top target but the two sides are yet to agree a fee.
Aston Villa star Jack Grealish has also been linked with an Old Trafford switch.
But his asking price could soar after the ace was called up to the England squad by Gareth Southgate.
