Manchester United are being linked with Santos midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso.
Globoesporte says United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has registered his interest in Ganso with Santos representatives.
The 20 year-old is also a target for Real Madrid, while Manchester City currently have first refusal on the midfield playmaker.
However, City's clause will expire on August 4, at the end of Robinho's loan with Santos, so leaving United free to negotiate with another month to run before the summer market shuts.
