Man Utd are reportedly one of a number of clubs interested in a shock move for Lionel Messi.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner is rumoured to be unsettled at the Camp Nou - and could leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.
A reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City has been mooted. But according to Corriere dello Sport, Manchester United have entered the race for the 32-year-old superstar.
Messi's bust-up at Barcelona has come after a row with the club's sporting director Eric Abidal.
It is understood that the Argentine was frustrated with his former team-mate's criticism of the players in Ernesto Valverde's final weeks at the club.
He took to social media to reply, writing: "Those in charge of sporting direction should also face up to their responsibilities and above all take charge of their own decisions.
“When you talk about players you should give names, otherwise you are tainting everyone's name and feeding rumours which are not true.”
