Manchester United are interested in a summer move for Arsenal star Theo Walcott, according to Metro.
Walcott has been locked in contract talks with the Gunners since the turn of the year with the former Southampton youngster keen to agree a new and improved deal, said to be worth over £100,000 per week.
However, Arsenal are not keen, and their failed negotiations over a new deal have led to numerous reports linking Walcott with a move to the likes of Liverpool.
And, it is now understood that Man United have also joined the race to land the England international.
It is believed that Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is more than happy to make the 26-year-old a member of his squad next season and could negotiate Chris Smalling into the deal after Arsenal showed interest in the central defender.
Man United and Arsenal are currently battling for the Champions League spots in the Premier League and sit third and fourth in the table, respectively.
