Manchester United have reportedly earmarked Monaco's Aurelien Tchouameni as their first-choice replacement for wantaway midfielder Paul Pogba.
Pogba's contract at Man United now has less than three months left to run, and the Frenchman is widely expected to leave on a free transfer amid links with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
Ralf Rangnick's side will therefore be on the lookout for replacements ahead of the summer transfer window, but they are seemingly fighting a losing battle to prise Declan Rice away from West Ham United.
According to the Daily Mail, Monaco starlet Tchouameni is high on United's radar as a possible successor to Pogba, but the former Bordeaux starlet is attracting glances from all across Europe.
Manchester City, Real Madrid and PSG have also been credited with an interest in Tchouameni, who has scored three goals and set up two more in 43 outings for Les Monegasques this term.
Tchouameni's contract at the Stade Louis II is due to run until the end of the 2023-24 season.
