Guido is in talks about a new deal as his current contract runs down this season.
Estadio Deportivo says United are showing interest in the midfielder.
United are open to buying Guido in January.
At the same time, the 29-year-old can hold formal negotiations about a Bosman move with other clubs from the turn of the year.
