Monaco and France centre-back Axel Disasi is being linked with a move to Manchester United.
The 24-year-old was in France's squad for the World Cup, but did not get much game time in Qatar.
Per the Daily Mail, United are assessing defensive options in the January transfer window.
Some initial negotiations have already taken place between the two clubs.
Diasi has been with Monaco since 2020, signing from Reims, and is expected to leave either this month or in the summer.
United are likely to seek a replacement for Harry Maguire, who is believed to be departing in the summer for regular first team football.
