MANCHESTER UNITED have made contact over a move for Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo.
The Red Devils are searching for defenders after Raphael Varane went off injured in their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The former Real Madrid man, 30 is set to be out for more than a month.
And SunSport can reveal that Todibo, 23, is a centre-half Erik ten Hag is targeting.
Nice want £47million for the French defender - with United set to offer the player a five-year deal with a £385,000-a-month salary and a £3m signing bonus.
It comes after Todibo rejected an £18m-a-year offer from Saudi Arabia - which would have seen Nice secure a £43m transfer fee.
Chelsea contacted the player earlier this month before they signed Axel Disasi from Monaco.
However, he refused a move to Stamford Bridge.
I missed that he had turned us down, grrrrrrrrr 🤬
