Manchester United in race with Premier League rivals to sign £12m striker from Portugal
MANCHESTER UNITED are favourites to sign Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani, according to reports.
Slimani has scored six goals in his last three games
The 27-year-old has been in red-hot form for the Portuguese side this year with 13 league goals in 16 appearances in the league this season as Sporting find themselves four points clear at the top of the Primeira Liga.
And now the Sun are reporting that United scouts have been watching the Algerian for the last two months.
Slimani almost joined West Ham in the summer but the deal fell through.
