Newcastle United are threatening Manchester United's plans for AS Monaco defender Axel Disasi.
The France international is aware of Man United's interest, who they see as an alternative to Kim Min-jae. The Napoli defender is set to join Bayern Munich.
However, United face competition from Newcastle for Disasi.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting Newcastle will compete with United for the young defender.
Like United, Newcastle can offer Disasi Champions League football next season.
