Manchester United are keen to speak with Arturo Vidal’s representatives as the midfielder aims to leave Barcelona this month, according to reports.

Vidal is eager to exit Barcelona after finding starting opportunities at the club limited this season.

The 32-year-old is playing regularly, but has only made four starts in La Liga this term.

Italian outlet Corriere della Sera claim Vidal has dispatched his agent, Fernando Felicevich, to hold talks with interested clubs.

Felicevich is travelling across Europe and is currently in Italy, hopeful he can secure a January move for his client.

Vidal has long been linked with a switch to the Premier League, with Chelsea and United mooted as former suitors.



And it seems United are prepared to renew their interest in Vidal as they seek talks with Felicevich.

Felicevich has spoken with Italian giants Inter about Vidal and the asking price is being quoted as £17million for the combative midfielder.

United are in need of reinforcements in the middle of the park after Scott McTominay joined Paul Pogba on the sidelines.

Pogba underwent surgery on his ankle on Tuesday, while McTominay is not expected to return from his own injury before the end of February.

After watching his side get blown away by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed he had received the backing to make signings this month.

‘And of course with the injuries that we’ve had and the illnesses, it shows more,’ he said.

‘That’s something we’re looking at.

‘If there’s something there for us, I’ve got the backing to do something. But if it’s not the right thing I won’t do anything.’
