Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is monitoring Javier Mascherano's situation at Barcelona.
The former Liverpool midfielder only moved to the Nou Camp last summer, but is being linked with a move away after failing to nail down a regular first team start.
Argentina captain Mascherano has been linked with Juventus.
However, Catalan media sources say United are also watching developments closely.
Ferguson has been a big fan of Mascherano since his days at Corinthians.
