Manchester United will join the battle to sign Juventus left-back Alex Sandro during the January transfer window, according to reports.
Sandro has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, with Chelsea coming close to a deal last summer.
The player is understood to be desperate for a move to the Premier League.
After a switch failed to transpire last summer, his form has dipped and Juventus are reportedly now ready to sell for somewhere in the region of £60million.
Chelsea remain keen on the Brazil international, with Antonio Conte wanting to give Marcos Alonso some competition at left-back. Man City are also thought to be in the mix.
It’s now emerged Manchester United also want to sign Sandro, with The Times reporting that the Juventus player is their ‘preferred option’.
Jose Mourinho wants to resolve Manchester United’s problems at left-back with the club currently having more quantity than quality.
Ashley Young has emerged as the preferred choice this season but there is also Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo who could take up the role. Mourinho doesn’t view any of them as the long-term future.
