Gregory Van der Wiel will leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer and Le Parisien reports that Manchester United are ready to make contact.
The Dutchman was expected to be used as part of the deal that would have seen United's Angel Di Maria join the French giants but boss Louis van Gaal made it clear that the Argentine will not leave Old Trafford this summer.
Still, the Red Devils are determined to make an offer for the 27-year-old with Italian side Roma also showing interest.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma director of football Walter Sabatini met with the player's agent, Mino Raiola, to negotiate the transfer.
