Manchester United have reportedly contacted the agent of Bayern Munich defender David Alaba as the speculation surrounding the Austria international continues.
Alaba will leave Bayern on a free transfer this summer, and a number of clubs have been credited with an interest in the versatile defender, who is aiming to win his 10th Bundesliga title this season.
According to ESPN, Real Madrid are the favourites for the 28-year-old, with Zinedine Zidane's side facing the possibility of having to replace club captain Sergio Ramos.
However, the report claims that a number of other clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, have also been in contact.
United were thought to be out of the running for the Austrian, but the Red Devils have allegedly also been in touch with Alaba's agent Pini Zahavi to discuss a possible switch to Old Trafford.
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to have made it clear to the 20-time English champions that he wants to sign a left-footed centre-back ahead of next season.

Real Madrid have reportedly been quoted £44m if they wish to sign Rennes' teenager superstar Eduardo Camavinga.
The 18-year-old is widely regarded as one of Europe's most exciting young talents and has already earned three international caps for the French national team.
Camavinga's agent Jonathan Barnett, who also represents Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale, has hailed Los Blancos as a "great club" that would be interested in his client, who he believes can become the "best midfielder in the world".
"At the moment, he's a Rennes player. He likes Rennes and, at the moment, we haven't really taken to other clubs. It isn't our position," Barnett told Goal.
"Let's see what happens later on, but he's doing well in Rennes and that's fine. Being the best midfielder in the world, that's how I see his future, [with] a lot of medals and a lot of trophies.
"Eduardo would love to play for a top club. [Real Madrid are] a great club, a great club to play for. Eduardo will have a choice of a lot of clubs if Rennes decides to release him. They will be one of the four of five clubs in the world he might go to. Madrid are one of those top clubs in the world, so are Barcelona."
Since making his debut as a 16-year-old in August 2019, Camavinga has played 69 times for Rennes, including 26 appearances in all competitions this campaign.
