MANCHESTER UNITED are hot on the trail of Bayer Leverkusen whizkid Benjamin Henrichs but face competition from Manchester City and Chelsea.
German newspaper Bild claims the Premier League trio have been following the defender, 19, since an impressive performance in a Germany youth international 12 months ago.
Henrichs – a full-back who can operate on either side of the defence – broke into Leverkusen’s first-team this year.
