MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly keen on making a £20million swoop for Paris Saint-Germain star Serge Aurier.
L’Equipe claims the right-back will be allowed to leave this summer following the arrival of Dani Alves.
Aurier has been a long-term target for Jose Mourinho and he is said to be interested in launching a bid.
The report adds that Aurier is available for between £18m-£22m, meaning that £20m should be enough to secure his signature.
The Ivorian right-back is a controversial figure but could be just the man to help United launch a successful title bid this season.
Antonio Valencia is entering his twilight years while Matteo Darmian has been strongly linked with a return to Italy.
Aurier has also been linked with Barcelona, but their interest ended when Nelson Semedo arrived earlier in the week.
United have already added Victor Lindelof to their defence but may have decided just the Swede is not enough.

Aurier is also sure to be keen if the Red Devils can guarantee regular games, with the return of the Champions League sure to help matters.
Thomas Meunier’s arrival at PSG last summer saw Aurier slip down the pecking order, while the signing of Alves drops him down even further.
