Tribal football report that Manchester United and Arsenal have now joined the race to sign RB Leipzig's Swedish international winger Emil Forsberg.

According to the report Manchester United manager José Mourinho was in Stockholm's Friends Arena during the first leg of the play-off qualification for the FIFA World Cup between Sweden and Italy specifically to have a closer look at Emil Forsberg. Last season Forsberg was in ruthless form in the Bundesliga where he scored 9 goals and 17 assists helping RB Leipzig to finish just behind Bayern Munich.

This past summer AC Milan were heavily linked with Forsberg who expressed an interest in joining the Rossoneri when speaking to Swedish media but Leipzig refused to entertain any offers for him and the deal fell through. 

The former Malmö FF winger, is valued at £20 million according to Transfermarkt and he has a contract that does not expire until the end of June 2022 with the Bundesliga outfit.
