Manchester United are reportedly targeting FC Porto’s Brazilian fullback Alex Sandro to replace Patrice Evra according to reports in Brazil.
Gazeta Esportiva reports that Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for a replacement for the aging left back and Alex Sandro is the leading contender to fill the vacancy.
The 21-year-old fullback has been in impressive form for FC Porto and earned a call up to the national team earlier this season.
The price tag is quoted as £7.5m, the price FC Porto paid Santos for the fullback and Sandro could join fellow countrymen Anderson and Rafael at the club.
There are already a number of leftbacks at the club with summer signing Alexander Buttner and on-loan youngster Fabio as backup to first choice leftback Patrice Evra.
