Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will discuss a move for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic with club chief Ed Woodward.
The Sun says Milenkovic is a player United have been tracking in a £45million deal.
Vice-chairman Woodward views January as a difficult window to get players but is willing to invest for the right deals.
And Milenkovic, 21, remains firmly in their plans if a mid-season deal can be struck for the Serbia international.
The youngster has impressed in Italy in his two seasons since arriving from Partizan, with Juventus and Atletico Madrid also interested in him.
