Manchester United have joined Liverpool in the race to sign young Chicago Fire striker Jhon Duran.
Duran is already making a big impact for the Chicago Fire in MLS, despite being just 18 years old. The young forward has managed eight goals and five assists in the 2022 campaign.
His performances have attracted the interest of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with clubs in Spain and Germany keeping an eye on the youngster, according to The Sun.
However, according to The Sun, Manchester United have joined Liverpool in the race to sign Duran.

Duran is unlikely to make an immediate impact if he were to join Manchester United or Liverpool, but securing a signing for the future may be a smart move.
Chelsea recently negotiated with the Chicago Fire to bring Gabriel Slonina to Stamford Bridge, and the young goalkeeper is currently back on loan in MLS to gain experience.
Manchester United or Liverpool could use a similar strategy if they signed Duran, securing a long-term player for the club but allowing them to play regular football in a league they feel comfortable in.
