Manchester United are tracking Zenit St Petersburg defender Ezequiel Garay. The Mirror says United sent two scouts to watch the Zenit St Petersburg centre-half play in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday with a view to making a January bid.
Although Garay only joined Zenit for £12million from Benfica in the summer , United believe they can prise the Argentina international away in the January transfer window. Van Gaal has made sorting out his rearguard a priority and sees Garay, 28, as the man to build his defence around.
Garay was linked with United last summer, but his move to Zenit went through before manager Louis van Gaal took charge officially at Old Trafford.
