However, Bild suggests that Upamecano possesses a £38m release clause in his current contract which can be activated next summer.
The Red Devils and The Reds are both considered to be the frontrunners for the centre-back as they look to bolster their respective defence.
The report adds that when the 21-year-old defender will be available for just £38m next summer.
