Manchester United have reportedly switched their attention to Valencia attacker Sofiane Feghouli ahead of what could be a busy January transfer window.

The Premier League side are widely expected to bring in a new forward-thinking player in January, but it is understood that head coach Louis van Gaal is wary of paying over the odds at the mid-point of the season.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Man United have stepped up their interest in Feghouli, who could be available for a cut-price fee in January with his current deal at Valencia due to expire at the end of the season.

The Algerian's representatives are believed to be in contract talks with Los Che, but the two parties are reportedly still some way off agreeing terms.

Chelsea and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in a player that joined Valencia from Grenoble in 2010.
