Manchester United are moving to sign AS Monaco defender Axel Disasi.

L'Equipe says Monaco have been in contact with United and expect talks to soon open about Disasi's sale.

ASM will seek €40-50m to part with the France international, which won't be a problem for United.

Monaco are ready to sell Disasi as they seek to balance their books.

The defender moved to ASM three years ago from Reims and played for France in this season's World Cup.
