Manchester City and Manchester United are to go head-to-head to exploit the upheaval at Liverpool to land £40 million striker Fernando Torres, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Torres, 26, has reportedly grown unsettled on Merseyside following off the field problems and the club's poor form this season. Even the potential takeover from New England Sports Ventures is not believed to be enough to convince him to stay.
Despite the announcement of recent losses of more than £80m, United are understood to be ready to delve into their £150m cash reserves to try and land the star. City hopes to hold the upper hand, however, due to the intense rivalry between United and Liverpool and owner Sheikh Mansour's bottomless wealth.
