Le Havre are ready to table a bid for Manchester United striker Manucho.
The Angola international was a surprise arrival last January and was loaned out to Panathinaikos.
Manucho, 25, has had just one Premier League outing this season, as a substitute in the 5-0 win over Stoke.
Le Havre's top-flight status is in jeopardy and they see Manucho, a star in the African Nations Cup, as the man to save their season.
