Atletico Madrid are encouraging Manchester United to bid for defender Joao Miranda.
Fichajes.com says Atletico will accept a £20m bid from Manchester United for defender Miranda in January.
The Brazilian centre-back reportedly has a £24m release clause in his contract with the La Liga champions but the report suggests the Red Devils will offer £20m.
It has been speculated that the emergence of young defender Jose Gimenez could convince the Spanish outfit that Miranda is expendable.
