Manchester City rival United in their bid to sign Joao Cancelo

Manchester United target Joao Cancelo is a wanted man this summer, with Manchester City reportedly joining the race for his signature.

The Portuguese full-back spent the season on loan at Inter Milan and although they have an option to make his deal at the club permanent, it seems they are not intent on activating this clause.

This has thrown Cancelo’s future into doubt, with a number of clubs across Europe now being linked.

Manchester United were reportedly leading the race to sign Cancelo from Valencia this summer but according to reports from Italy, their rivals Manchester City have now joined the race.

United are closing in on a deal to sign Porto right-back Diogo Dalot, meaning that they could end their pursuit of Cancelo. However, City have now emerged as potential suitors for the defender.

Pep Guardiola’s side have Kyle Walker and Danilo available as their right-back options but it seems Cancelo could be a target this summer.
