Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr have reportedly identified an alternative to Emerson Royal after seeing their £20million bid for the Brazilian rejected by Tottenham.
The Riyadh-based club are in the market for additions this month as they seek to catch Al-Hilal at the top of the standings in the second-half of the campaign.
Al-Nassr, led by the league's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, were rebuffed in their attempts to land the 25-year-old, who has played a bit-part role in Ange Postecoglou's side so far this season.
That has led them to focus their attention on another fullback, in a move that would reunite their skipper a former teammate during his second spell at Manchester United.
According to The Telegraph, Al-Nassr are 'prepared to bid' for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has also been on the radar of European clubs.
United recently triggered a one-year extension in his contract that now sees his deal at Old Trafford run out in 2025. Earlier this month, Mail Sport revealed that Wan-Bissaka remains on the £90,000-a-week wages agreed when joining United from Crystal Palace five years ago, but the club have indicated they are willing to offer him a new deal on higher terms.
The England Under 21 international has made 13 appearances for United this term after recovering from a hamstring injury.
He has started each of the last six games for Erik ten Hag's side in all competitions, including a 2-2 home draw against Spurs that featured a substitute appearance from Royal.
In recent weeks the right-back has been linked with a return to Selhurst Park that would see Michael Olise going in the opposite direction. Wan-Bissaka has also reportedly been the subject of an approach from Inter Milan.
Al-Nassr will need to de-register one of their foreign players if Wan-Bissaka is to suit up for the team in the latter part of the season. The club bought former Liverpool star Sadio Mane and ex-Man City defender Aymeric Laporte last summer.
Clubs in the division is allowed to register a maximum of eight non-Saudi players for each matchday.
Al-Nassr also have the likes of Otavio, Marcelo Brozovic, Seko Fofana, David Ospina and Alex Telles on their books.

The only thing Inter Miami bottled since Messi joined them was the US Open Cup title. They were always behind in the chase for the MLS play-offs so I don't consider that bottling.
