Manchester United have made tentative enquiries after Borussia Monchengladbach striker Alassane Plea.

The Lyon-trained centre-forward has emerged as a summer transfer target for United.

Sky Deutschland says contact has been made with Plea's entourage, though nothing has been established officially.

United are sounding out Plea about his interest in a move to England and also his personal demands.

However, Gladbach are yet to field a formal approach from United.
