According to Turkish outlet Fotospor, Manchester United have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey.
The Red Devils did not reinforce their right-side defence during the summer transfer window, which has left Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot competing for a spot in the team.
The former started in the first four Premier League games but was subsequently dropped for the match against Brighton & Hove Albion in September.
In recent weeks, Dalot, who initially played as a left-back, has shifted to the right side due to an injury sidelining Wan-Bissaka.
