According to reports Manchester United have made a move for Borussia Dortmund star Shinji Kagawa.
Goal.com understands from German sources that United have acted after it emerged that Arsenal were showing interest in the Japan international.
United are believed to be hopeful of wrapping up a deal quickly before a bidding war is sparked.
Kagawa has only a year remaining on his contract and the Bundesliga club has hinted recently that they will not stand in the way of a transfer this summer.
Speaking last week, Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said: "I had a meeting with his agent and Shinji Kagawa has informed us that he will definitely not be extending his contract.
“Should we now receive offers for Kagawa, then we will consider and negotiate them."
