Manchester United have made a move to sign a South American in the summer transfer window, with three clubs reportedly submitting an offer.
The Red Devils have strengthened in the middle of the park during the summer transfer window so far, signing both Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
United are yet to bring in reinforcements in other positions, except between the sticks, with Karl Darlow arriving as a backup goalkeeper.
After qualifying for the Champions League last season thanks to a resurgence under Michael Carrick, United could look to strengthen in other areas of the pitch.
The Red Devils are yet to bring in defensive or attacking reinforcements, so we could see movement in those areas over the next few weeks.

Manchester United have reportedly made a move to sign Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi in the summer transfer window.
The report claims that Lucumi does have three offers on the table, with Nottingham Forest and Juventus reportedly making bids.
It's unclear who the third club is and whether it is the Red Devils, but United are believed to have made a move.
The Colombian, described as a 'phenomenon' by Vincenzo Italiano, reportedly wouldn't reject a good opportunity in England, meaning United could be in a strong position to secure his signature this summer.
United have had injury troubles in defence of late, particularly with the likes of Matthijs De Ligt and Lisandro MartÃnez.

A report from The Athletic recently claimed that Manchester United could abandon their pursuit of signing a third midfielder in the summer transfer window.
It was suggested that they could sign another alongside Tielemans and Santos, particularly after losing Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte to injury.
The Red Devils could instead look to use funds elsewhere, potentially looking to reinforce their defensive options, whether that be at full-back or in the middle.
Lewis Hall is one name who has been linked with a move at left back, although it's not going to be easy for them to convince the Magpies to part ways.
