PSG defender Marquinhos has welcomed interest from Manchester United.

United have been linked with preparing a £58 million bid for the Brazil international.

And the Manchester Evening News says Marquinhos is receptive to moving to the Premier League after a move to Barcelona fell through and United have made tentative enquiries.

United explored the possibility of signing Marquinhos last year but were dissuaded by his sizeable transfer fee and spent £30million on Eric Bailly from Villarreal to reinforce their central defence.

Marquinhos, who joined PSG from Roma in 2013, has just two years left on his contract but recently revealed talks have begun over a renewal.
