Report: Manchester United lead chase for Barcelona's Dani Alves

Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to land Barcelona right-back Dani Alves in the summer, with the Brazilian's contract due to expire.

Manchester United are reportedly looking to bring in Barcelona's Dani Alves in the summer, while allegedly fending off interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

The right-back's agent Dinorah Santana has revealed that they have already started looking for a new club, with the 31-year-old's contract expiring in the summer.

The Champions League winner is now preferred over other potential targets Seamus Coleman and Nathaniel Clyne, due to being a cheaper alternative, according to the Daily Star.

Reports also suggest that Rafael's future at the Red Devils is in doubt, with manager Louis van Gaal recently preferring to play with three centre-backs in a 3-5-2 formation.

Alves has made over 300 appearances for Barcelona since joining from Sevilla in 2008, winning numerous league titles and the Champions League twice during his time at Camp Nou.
