MANCHESTER UNITED are lining up a £11million move to beat Liverpool and Tottenham to Lille defender SImon Kjaer, according to reports.
Kjaer has also been linked with Juventus, Monaco and Zenit St. Petersburg in recent times due to his impressive form in Ligue 1.
But reports in Denmark suggest Louis van Gaal is ready to bring Kjaer to Old Trafford in a bid to strengthen his rearguard.
The move would reportedly make Kjaer the most expensive Danish player of all time - eclipsing Christian Eriksen's move from Ajax to Spurs in 2013.
But Kjaer would still be significantly cheaper than other United targets, such asBorussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels.
Kjaer has admitted in the past being a Liverpool fan but is willing to contemplate a move to any big side ready to offer him regular playing time.
He said: "I'll only leave if a top club wants me, this season or next.
"Otherwise there is no reason to leave a club of Lille's means.
"If I do leave, stability will be important. The clubs who want me will need to show that they intend to rely on me in the long term.
"I have a status in Lille. The club believes in me and my family feels good here.
"I realised that I needed a coach who has confidence in me and listens to what I say. It is important to have a coach who understands you.
"That was not the case at Wolfsburg and that's why I didn't stay there."
