United face stiff competition from Barca for £15 million German

The German international is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in Europe and he has caught the attentions of several major European sides including United and Barca.
The 24-year old really came to the for in the World Cup in 2006 when playing a starring role for Germany as they made it to the semi-final stage. He has been at Bayern for over a half dozen years and is said to be considering moving on in the summer.
I personally would love to see Lahm move to the Premier League but I do feel Barca may be able to edge United in the race for the £15 million rated star. Lahm is a terrific player who can play left or right back and would fit right into either side in question.
