Borussia Monchengladbach striker Marcus Thuram is a January target for Manchester United.

Sport Bild says Man Utd have expressed an interest in signing Thuram, 25, from Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Bundesliga side are currently open to selling the striker for just £9.6million as his contract expires in June.

United believe he could be the ideal candidate to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who sensationally left the club last month.

Thuram has made four appearances so far for France in this year's World Cup, but he is yet to get on the scoresheet.

Despite his lack of goals for France, the striker is currently one of the Bundesliga's top scorers with 10 goals in 15 games for Borussia Monchengladbach this season.
