Nice are moving for Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.
Sky Sports says Lingard's representatives have held initial discussions with Nice over a loan move.
An official approach is expected in the next week. Manchester United have yet to decide whether to allow Lingard to leave in this transfer window.
Lingard's United contract runs until the summer of 2022.
The midfielder started the FA Cup Third Round round victory over Watford on Saturday, but hasn't started a Premier League game for over a year.
