Manchester United are believed to be keen on Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner.

The right-back's contract with Juventus runs until 2015 and, with no extension yet on the horizon, Manchester United are eyeing a potential raid on Turin in January.

 


According to Tutto Mercato, the Red Devils are paying particular attention to the 29-year-old's situation at the Italian champions.

Manchester United are likely to be active in the January transfer window after struggling to reinforce their squad over the summer, seeing several potential deals fail to materialise.

Lichtsteiner joined Juventus in 2011 from fellow Serie A side Lazio.

The Switzerland international has been pivotal in Antonio Conte's team scooping up successive Serie A titles in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 campaigns.

It remains to be seen whether the Bianconeri will consider selling Lichtsteiner to Manchester United.
