Man United are also scouting a quartet of Real Madrid squad with full-backs Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao being seen by Moyes as further alternatives to Evra with the Old Trafford side failing with a deadline day move to bring in the Portuguese wing-back .
Moyes is also keeping tabs on Argentine winger Angel Di Maria, who is said to be available for around £18m and Man United’s interest in the Bernabeu attacker may well be down to the very average displays shown by the likes of Nani, Ashley Young and Luis Antonio Valencia.
The 25 year old former Benfica man has started just one of Real Madrid’s last four fixtures with Gareth Bale beginning to make a real impact at the La Liga club.
Luka Modric is another member of Carlo Ancelotti’s side that is on Man United’s wish-list but is perhaps the least likely of the four to make a Real Madrid exit.
The Croatian struggled for form in his first few months at the Bernabeu but the cultured midfield schemer showed great consistency towards the end of last term and the former Tottenham man has started 13 of the Spanish giant’s 17 La Liga and Champions League fixtures this season.
