The Red Devils reportedly see the 21-year-old, who is left-footed, as the perfect partner for Chris Smalling at the back but may have to pay his £32 million release clause
Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte is on a list of defensive targets Manchester United plan to pursue this summer, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Everton centre-back John Stones and Real Madrid starlet Raphael Varane are also under consideration as United look to bolster their squad ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.
Despite speculation around his future, the club hierarchy are working on potential signings in consultation with manager Louis van Gaal.
Laporte has a £32 million buy-out clause and Athletic are reportedly likely to demand that sum in full before the 21-year-old is given permission to discuss personal terms.
