Inter Milan expect to sell Fredy Guarin this week.
The latest from RAI last night is that Manchester United are in contact with Inter for the Colombia international.
Guarin, 28, has also been linked with a swap deal involving Tottenham striker Roberto Soldado.
However, in Italy, it's claimed United and Zenit St Petersburg are the two European giants showing the keenest interest.
Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has been mooted to have made tentative enquiries over the weekend.
