Man Utd transfer news: Jose Mourinho readying Xherdan Shaqiri bid to stun Liverpool
The Switzerland international, who impressed at the World Cup this summer, has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool.
Shaqiri, 26, is available for just £12m thanks to a release clause inserted into his current Stoke contract.
And according to The Sun, United have joined the race for the winger.
They say Red Devils boss Mourinho, who is out in Russia doing TV work, has been impressed with Shaqiri’s performances at the World Cup.
Mourinho is now weighing up a move for the Stoke attacker, which comes as a huge blow to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
