Manchester United are interested in Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram.
The France international, 25, is out of contract in the summer and free to talk to foreign clubs now.
However, United are likely to be restricted to loans in this window.
They have been evaluating a number of options with the likes of Barcelona's Memphis Depay available while Cristiano Ronaldo signing for Al Nassr may prompt the Saudi club to loan out Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar, says the Daily Mail.
Erik ten Hag has been keen to stress that United need a new forward to continue their recent resurgence under him.
