Alex Telles will push to leave Porto in the coming days after Manchester United made contact once more.
The Red Devils are interested in signing a left back after making him a big deal this summer.
Luke Shaw hasn’t had any real competition since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over.
And, in addition to Jadon Sancho, he has become a priority for him in the transfer window.
However, United did not achieve their main goal after Tottenham got Sergio Reguilón of Real Madrid ahead of them.
He has led the Old Trafford team to its secondary objective: the Porto Telles star.
In addition, it emerged this week that United was in contact with their agent, Pini Zahavi, for a five-year contract.
But as the Red Devils faltered against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday night, more talks had taken place.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Telles is ready to push for an exit from the Estadio do Dragao.
Manchester United are looking to chart their way back to the top. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already signed Donny van de Beek, but Jadon Sancho remains Manchester United’s number one target.

The 27-year-old could cost as little as £ 17 million, and Porto is wary of his contract status.
Telles will become a free agent next summer and the Primeira Liga team would rather sell now than lose him for nothing the following year.
Roman more informed that United is monitoring proceedings and is considering an opening offer.
Meanwhile, the chances of landing Sancho so late at the window are getting smaller with each passing day.
Borussia Dortmund have been holding at the £ 109 million price tag and such a large sum of money would be hard to get off the air at this point.
As a result, there have been alternate targets in mind at Old Trafford, including Watford ace Ismaila Sarr, who would cost £ 40m.
Ivan Perisic of Inter Milan is also under consideration after it emerged that he would not be returning to Bayern Munich.
Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman are also being watched, while Solskjaer was asked about transfers before facing Palace.
He said: “We understand that to go further we have to develop what we have and strengthen the team, but let’s wait and see if we can bring someone in.
“I have been in dialogue with the club. We are always arguing.
“We want to take a step forward and we can enter the new season with confidence, but we are looking to give the group a boost and we are working on it.”
