According to The Sun, the Red Devils are looking to bring in a left-back, and Reinildo Mandava is among their top candidates for the position.

The 30-year-old is approaching the final year of his contract with Atletico Madrid, and with the 35-cap Mozambique international having fallen out of favour in Diego Simeone's side since returning from a cruciate ligament tear, the possibility of a departure from the Civitas Metropolitano seems likely.

The left-back position has proved troublesome for the Mancunians this season after Tyrell Malacia was ruled out for the whole campaign and with Luke Shaw struggling with persistent injuries.

United are thus looking to fill the position in the most cost-effective manner, and Reinildo appears to be a cheap option for the record Premier League winners.

The same report claims that the former Lille man could be available for as little as £8 million (R184.6 million), but it has also been stated that the English giants will likely face stiff competition from Aston Villa for his signature.
