MANCHESTER UNITED are set to go head-to-head with Arsenal over Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey.
The 22-year-old is viewed as one Europe’s most promising full-backs and has been linked with a Premier League move.

Both United and Arsenal are believed to be in the market for a new right-back during the summer.
And Turkish Football report that the Red Devils are prepared to elbow their rivals out the way to secure Boey.
Newcastle are also reportedly in for the star who is valued at around £17.5m.
Boey joined Galatasaray from Rennes in 2021 for just £1m but his value has soared after two impressive seasons out in Turkey.
He has been praised for his pace and crossing ability with Galatasaray six points clear at the top of the Super Lig.
Boey plays alongside the likes of PSG loanee Mauro Icardi and former Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo at the club.
He has also made appearances for France’s underage groups but is yet to receive a senior international call-up.
United could have a vacancy at right-back with Aaron Wan-Bissaka repeatedly linked with moves away from Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old has been at Old Trafford since 2019 but is behind Diogo Dalot in the pecking order.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are well-stocked in the full-back positions with Ben White and the versatile Takehiro Tomiyasu able to play there.
But Boey would provide a more attacking alternative.
