MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly set to go toe-to-toe with Paris Saint-Germain in pursuit of Romain Faivre.
The Brest midfielder, 22, has been one of Ligue 1’s surprise standouts in 2020-21 after a move from Monaco.

Les Pirates paid around £450,000 for Faivre last summer and a sale would reap a pretty profit for the Brittany club.
According to Le10Sport, a whole host of clubs are taking an interest in the player.
United and PSG are named as two contenders, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently adding a new wide-man to his squad in Amad Diallo.
Mauricio Pochettino got a good look at Faivre on Saturday night as the youngster played 90 minutes in his first win as Les Parisiens boss.
In 19 appearances for Brest, he has notched four goals and three assists.
That includes a winner against old club Monaco in October and a late equaliser from the spot away to high-flying Lyon.

Brest have already moved to keep Faivre from interested parties, extending his contract to 2025 on Christmas Eve.
January may be a quiet month at Old Trafford with Ecuadorian wonderkid Moises Caicedo one of few players linked.
Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero have been told they can leave the club ahead of their contracts expiring in June.
