The Red Devils also have their eye on unsettled Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye
Less than a year since leaving Newcastle United for the Ligue 1 champions the France international has grown frustrated and unsettled.
Cabaye is barely being used by manager Laurent Blanc and this has seen both Arsenal and Liverpool show interest in recent times.
However, the Metro now reports that United have joined the chase to sign the 28-year-old from PSG, who is likely to be allowed to leave the Parc des Princes in January.
