Manchester United kicked off negotiations with Juventus for Alex Sandro.

Gazzetta dello Sport says United have opened up talks over a summer deal for Sandro.

The Juventus defender has been one of the names linked with Old Trafford as Jose Mourinho looks to bolster the full-back positions.

Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the Brazilian's signature.

But it also claimed that United have begun speaking to Juventus over the move.

It comes after Juve CEO Giuseppe Marotta said earlier this week that they were hopeful of extending Sandro's deal, saying: “We will meet next week with his representative and I think there's a desire to extend the contract."
