Manchester United have reportedly enquired over the availability of Juventus defender Alex Sandro.

Despite the fact that Man United's long-term managerial situation is unclear, it is understood that transfer plans are already in motion for this summer's transfer window.

According to Calciomercato.com, one of those of interest to the Red Devils is Juve left-back Sandro, who moved to Turin from Porto last summer.

The 25-year-old signed a five-year deal upon joining Juve in August 2015, but Man United are said to be confident of enticing the Brazilian to England.

Man United's defensive problems this season have seen first-team debuts handed to both Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Joe Riley at left-back.
