Manchester United will rival Barcelona for the signing of Monaco defender Vanderson, according to reports in Spain.
The Brazilian right back has impressed at Stade Louis II since joining the French side on New Year's Day from Gremio for around £9.5million.
And Sport claim that despite United and Barca's approaches being knocked back this summer, they will return next year to try to sign the promising defender.

Barcelona made their interest known in mid-August, when manager Xavi made it clear he does not want Sergino Dest.
But sporting director Mateu Alemany was quoted an asking price of £52m, putting the brakes on the move, with Monaco unwilling to sell Vanderson only six months after signing him. Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag received the same response.
However, it is believed they would be more open to selling him in summer 2023, putting United, the Spanish giants and Premier League side Newcastle on high alert.

United's £50m right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is out of favour, with Diogo Dalot, 23, currently the only real option on that side.
The attack-minded, powerful and dynamic 21-year-old Vanderson, renowned for his passing and crossing ability and who is reportedly considered one of the most promising players in his position in Europe, signed a new five-year deal in August.
He could be the future of Brazil's national team after the World Cup, with Dani Alves now 39, Emerson Royal showing inconsistent form at Tottenham and Marquinhos, who can play at right back, better suited to centre half.
