MANCHESTER UNITED are set to face stiff competition in the battle to sign Hirving Lozano from Napoli, according to reports.
Boss Erik ten Hag is eager to strengthen his forward line in upcoming transfer windows, with Lozano fitting the bill.
Napoli could be resigned to losing the Mexican ace, whose contract expires in 2024.
According to Marca, he is attracting plenty of interest.
They claim that if Thomas Tuchel lands the Bayern Munich job in place of under-fire Julian Nagelsmann, the former Chelsea boss would be keen to bring Lozano in.
Bayern are fifth in the Bundesliga table, having won only three of their opening seven matches.
