Premier League giants Manchester United are the latest side to have joined the chase for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars Bender, according to Sunday People. The highly rated footballer is believed to be on the radar of both Barcelona and Arsenal, with the Red Devils in the mix as well. Louis van Gaal appears to have turned his attention to Bender after his primary target Kevin Strootman suffered another serious injury, but the Dutch coach clearly faces stiff competition for the player’s signature. His chief scout Jim Lawlor was present at Bay Arena last week as Bayer Leverkusen hosted Atletico Madrid in the Champions League clash, making a fresh check on the Germany starlet. Having spent last six years with die Werkself, Bender may be interested in a new challenge and he will have no shortage of offers next summer. And while Bayer Leverkusen are not too keen on seeing their star player leave, they will not be able to resist a big money offer for his services.
