Manchester United and Juventus are reportedly set to battle for Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez following his impressive form this season.

The 29-year-old has netted in both of his side's matches since returning from lockdown, taking his tally up to 15 this campaign.

According to the Daily Mail, the Mexican has attracted interest from fellow Premier League side Manchester United, with speculation surrounding the forward's move to Old Trafford this summer.

Juventus have also shown interest - and reports suggest that they have contacted agent Jorge Mendes regarding a future deal.

The Serie A side are reportedly willing to offer a swap deal, involving both Daniele Rugani and Federico Bernardeschi, after hesitating at a £54m asking price.

As well as conjuring up 15 league goals, Jimenez has also provided six league assists for his side this campaign.

Wolves currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, with goal difference the only factor separating them and Manchester United.
