The Sun says United chiefs have a four-man shortlist with an acute focus on Premier League know-how.
Nottingham Forest ace Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace, Brighton star Carlos Baleba and Alex Scott at Bournemouth are all under consideration.
Anderson is the priority thanks to his versatility, while Baleba also features prominently thanks to his defensive game.
As it stands, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and potentially Kobbie Mainoo could all move on at the end of the season.
