Manchester United‘s squad has been strengthened by the additions of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yorro already.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have finally gotten off the mark with the signing of the Italy international Riccardo Calafiori.
However, the two Premier League giants could now be set to go head-to-head in the race to land another star from this summer’s European Championship.

Manchester United eyeing Arsenal midfield target
The summer has offered United with an opportunity to reset after what was a turbulent 2023/24 campaign.
Despite being relatively underwhelming, the Red Devils managed to come out of the season with an FA Cup to their name.
As a result, their summer window may have taken a significant boost considering that earned them a spot in the Europa League despite finishing eighth.
The north London side may well be able to boast Champions League football, but that does not seem to be stopping United from rivaling the Gunners for one of their summer targets.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United are now one of the sides who are showing an interest in signing Dani Olmo.
This comes as Barcelona’s interest in the RB Leipzig player has hit the rocks with the Bundesliga side holding out for €60m (£50m)
Waiting in the wings is the Red Devils who – alongside Manchester City and Bayern Munich – hold a really strong interest in the player.
Olmo’s release clause has now expired, but that will not see Leipzig reduce their valuation of the Euro 2024 winner.
Arsenal have shown interest in Dani Olmo this summer
On the back of his performances in this summer’s Euros, it would be difficult for any top club not to have shown an interest in Olmo.
The ‘incredible‘ Spaniard shone on the international stage where he provided a seriously impressive return of three goals and two assists.
Although a potential move to Barcelona may have cooled, the Gunners may have to get a move on if they are going to beat the competition to the signature of the 26-year-old.
