According to Sky Sports, the Red Devils “made contact” with the Bundesliga side.

It is understood that United explore the conditions of a potential deal for Ekitike, where Frankfurt demands around £ 85 million (€ 100 million).

It will not be an easy deal to cross the line with Chelsea, also thought to be in the race to sign the French tassman.

Ekitike, who scored 15 goals and registered eight assists in the competition this season, will not be cheap.

United has already splashed £ 62.5 million on nr. 9 Matheus Cunha, which was formally announced today.
