Manchester United have made an offer to Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.
Off contract in June, Alaba is available from Bayern next month.
AS says United have ‘formally’ approached the defender’s agent, Pini Zahavi, over a deal to bring him to Old Trafford when his Bayern contract expires.
The Reds have supposedly increased their interest in the Austrian as they believe it will be hard to complete a deal for RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.
Manchester City have also made a formal approach to reunite Alaba with Pep Guardiola, who he worked with in Bavaria.
Alaba has maintained a good relationship with the Catalan coach and has previously been effusive in his praise of Guardiola.
“His training sessions are incredible workouts,” Alaba told BT Sport in 2016.
“He has reinvented football. Pep is someone who thinks about football 24 hours a day.
“With him, we have played better and better every year. I never knew that I could play in so many positions as well.”
