Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich defender Dante this summer.

The Premier League outfit are believed to be in the market for at least one new centre-back, with Valencia's Nicolas Otamendi also strongly linked with a move.

However, according to The Express, United boss Louis van Gaal could move for Dante, who is widely expected to be available for a minimal fee at the end of the season.

The 31-year-old joined Bayern from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2012 and has won three league titles, two German cups and the Champions League at the Allianz Arena.
