Manchester United have been encouraged in their pursuit of AS Monaco defender Axel Disasi.

The young France international is a target for United ahead of the summer market.

L'Equipe says Disasi will leave ASM this summer.

Monaco accept the France international, 25, will leave and want around £40m to sell. Along with United, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also said to have an interest.

Agents for Disasi recently met with United officials to discuss a summer switch.
