The winger was one of Spain's bright sparks at a wholly disappointing 2022 World Cup for La Roja, prompting increased speculation around his club future.
And according to Spanish outlet Nacional (via Football365), United have made an approach to bring Olmo to Old Trafford.

However, United could face stiff competition for Olmo's signature, with the report adding that Leipzig's Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich have also submitted an offer.
Such a move may well tempt the 24-year-old as it would allow him to reunite with former boss Julian Nagelsmann, who left Leipzig for Bayern in 2021.
Olmo's career has followed a rather unorthodox trajectory so far: having spent seven years in Barcelona's famed La Masia youth set-up, he surprisingly left for Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 16.
He made his professional debut three months before his 17th birthday and made 124 appearances for the Croatian outfit, before joining Leipzig this time three years ago.
