Man United are keeping their options open if unable to sign Everton centre-back Jarrad Braithwaite in the summer transfer window.
As per the Mirror, the Red Devils are interested in a possible move for Juventus defender Gleison Bremer after being impressed with his performances.
Dan Ashworth, who is poised to become the club’s new sporting director, has reportedly personally endorsed a move for Bremer.
The Brazilian centre-back has a release clause of £43m in his Juventus contract, which might not be deemed as excessive.
With Man United facing issues with their centre-backs because of persistent injuries this season and Raphael Varane’s future in doubt, signing a quality centre-back has become a priority.
Bremer has been one of the Serie A’s best defenders this season, helping the Bianconeri keep 13 clean sheets in 28 league games.
