Manchester United have targeted unsettled Barcelona defender Michael Reiziger, according to the Holland international's agent.
The former Ajax and AC Milan right-back has fallen out of favour at the Nou Camp with Claude Puyol taking his place in an increasingly solid backline.
His agent, Siggi Lens, revealed that United could be set to offer him a way out of the Nou Camp.
"Michael knows that Manchester are interested in him and I know the club have been in contact with Barcelona about the matter," he told El Mundo Deportivo.
But Lens insisted that a deal was not imminent, admitting that the matter is in the hands of Barca boss Carles Rexach.
He said: "Although someone from Manchester has called, and Michael is proud of the interest they are showing in him, I understand Barcelona have not decided anything and we shall have to see if there is an agreement to let him leave".
