Manchester United will battle it out with Juventus to sign Malaga midfielder Isco, according to talkSPORT.

Isco had made a fantastic start to the season with Malaga with many pundits and fans comparing his performances to the departed Santi Cazorla who joined Arsenal this summer.

The Spaniards key role with Manuel Pellegrini’s side has seen them remain unbeaten both in the Champions League and La Liga, but his performances may come at a cost for the Chilean coach.

Both Man Utd and Juventus are beginning to show interest with the Premier League giants desperate to find a suitable replacement for the ageing Paul Scholes.

Sources in Italy suggest the bidding will begin in January with Juventus putting aside cash for both Isco and Athletic Bilbao’s Isco.
