Yet Man United are also prepared to tempt Atletico Madrid into selling Miranda with £20m bid
Manager Louis van Gaal has made a new central defender a priority in the January transfer window and this Atleti star could be the ideal choice.
Miranda is said to have a £24m release clause written into his contract at the Vicente Calderon Stadium, but van Gaal doesn’t want to offer more than £20m, according to the Daily Star.
Athletic Bilbao’s Aymeric Laporte, Borussia Dortmund captain Mats Hummels and Winston Reid of West Ham United are also being monitored.
