Manchester United are monitoring Porto full-back Alex Sandro.

Record claims the 22 year-old Brazilian is being targeted as a potential replacement for Patrice Evra, who is expected to departed at the end of the season.

Alex Sandro, capped six times by Brazil, has been the subject of a £12.5 million bid from Internazionale, which Porto have rejected, continues to Record.

The current Primeira Liga holders are hoping to create a bidding war between Inter and United, though the latter are also believed to be considering Sevilla’s Alberto Moreno as an alternative.

Alex Sandro was signed by Porto in July 2011 for €9.6 million from Deportivo Maldonado, who held his registration rights after spells with Atlético Paranaense and Santos

At Santos, Alex Sandro won the 2011 Copa Libertadores and 2010 Copa do Brasil. 

Since joining Porto, he’s lifted the Primeira Liga title twice (2011-12 and 2012-13) and the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira once (2013).
