Manchester United remain in the hunt for PSG defender Marquinhos. United made two attempts for the Brazilian last month.

The Daily Mail says United will seek to recruit two centre-halves of elite standing. Marquinhos is believed to be one of those being closely monitored by Louis van Gaal.

PSG view him as a long-term mainstay of their defence and the French club do not wish to sell the 20-year-old Brazilian but they are aware of growing and sustained interest from Old Trafford.
