Manchester United are considering a hijack of Bayern Munich's move for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.
The all-action Portuguese anchorman is wanted by a host of top European clubs.

While Fulham are loathe to sell, Palhinha does want to play for a club in European competition.
The issue is that the Cottagers are not going to let Palhinha leave for a modest fee.
They are seeking a figure of at least £60 million for his signature, according to Sky Sports.
Bayern and United may be set for their first transfer battle in some time, which would only help Fulham raise the final price.
