Manchester United are considering a shock double raid on Porto for striker Hulk and defender Rolando.
The Daily Mail says Porto need to raise funds and are resigned to losing centre back Rolando, who was watched by an Old Trafford scout against Sporting Lisbon last weekend, and forward Hulk, who is also being monitored by United.
However, with doubts remaining over Carlos Tevez's future, Manchester City have repeatedly run the rule over powerful Brazil front-runner Hulk and are prepared to match Porto's £34m valuation.
United were offered Rolando last summer and, although they dithered then, they are now ready to make a move for the 25-year-old, who has been capped 10 times by Portugal and is available at around £12m.
