Manchester United boss David Moyes is yet to settle on his priority centre-half transfer targets.
The Daily Mail says United have studied the much-touted Eliaquim Mangala at Porto but have doubts he is really at the level they require, while have an admiration for Kurt Zouma but suspect the St Etienne defender has already agreed to join Chelsea - either this week or in the summer.
Dante at Bayern Munich has been mentioned but David Moyes is well schooled on German football and knows Pep Guardiola sees the Brazilian as one of his weaker links, as underlined by Manchester City's attack in their Champions League tie in Munich.
