According to Telefoot Manchester United have joined rivals Arsenal in the chase of Lille star Nicolas Pepe.
The Ivory Coast international was originally linked with the north London club at the beginning of the month, but it seems that the Red Devils have now also entered the running for the winger.
Nicolas Pepe has had a superb start to the season for the French outfit as he scored a hat-trick against Amiens in a 3-2 away win on Saturday, taking his tally to four from the opening five Ligue 1 matches.
The 23-year-old has not only been scoring goals but also creating them too by contributing two assists in the 3-0 home victory against Guingamp last month, while he provided one in the 3-1 win over Rennes in the first game of the new season.
Nicolas Pepe was very close to joining another Ligue 1 outfit Lyon before the transfer window closed in summer. Telefoot suggested that the French club had a €30m (£27m) bid accepted by Lille but the attacker rejected the move.
It remains to be seen if Jose Mourinho is looking serious to add the winger to his squad as the Red Devils do not have the shortage of wingers as Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez already have limited playing time.
