Manchester United appear to have entered the race to sign Arsenal target Emmanuel Dennis from Club Brugge.
The Gunners have been linked with a swoop for the attacker in recent days, with reports claiming that the North London outfit and high-flying Leicester City are at the front of the queue of clubs interested in recruiting him in January.
However, according to new claims from Yahoo Sport France journalist Manu Lonjon, Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Dennis.

The Red Devils are believed to have sent a scout to Belgium to observe the forward in action on Sunday when Club Brugge defeated KV Mechelen 3-0 ahead of a possible move in the New Year.
Read Arsenal’s verdict
Dennis has a lot of potential, and he is among a host of players who have impressed in the Jupiler Pro League this season.
Arsenal need to strengthen in January, but whether or not they require yet more attacking impetus in uncertain.
The root of the Gunners’ problems on the pitch is at the back, with the likes of David Luiz and Sokratis still failing to convince.
Dennis would be a shrewd signing, but focusing on the club’s main weakness must be the priority in January.
