Manchester United and Liverpool are set to fight it out for £6.5million-rated Monaco strike star Jeremy Menez.
SunSport can reveal that both Premier League giants have sent scouts to watch the gifted Frenchman.
Menez, 20, has notched three goals in nine appearances for Monaco this season.
And Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and his United counterpart Alex Ferguson are both keen on landing the hitman.
Menez is a France Under-21 international and has already been tipped for greatness — with some pundits comparing his play-making skills with those of French legend Zinedine Zidane.
Inter Milan are also keeping a close eye on the player, who could leave at the end of the season.
Monaco signed Menez from Sochaux in June last year to play alongside another new capture, 6ft 7in Czech frontman Jan Koller.
Menez hit the limelight in 2005 when he became the youngest player to score a French League hat-trick at the age of 17.
