Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly keen on re-signing Bournemouth forward Joshua King during this summer's transfer window.
The 28-year-old was linked with a return to Old Trafford in January, but United could not agree a fee with the Cherries and later signed Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua.
King is expected to leave the Vitality Stadium before next month's transfer deadline, and Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be in talks over a deal for the Norwegian.
The attacker recently revealed that he would be interested in a return to the Red Devils, though, and according to The Athletic, Solskjaer is keen on a player who could be available for a figure in the region of £15m.
However, the report claims that United's hierarchy are yet to signal whether they would be prepared to sanction a bid before the transfer window draws to a close.
King, who has less than one year left to run on his contract with the Cherries, scored six times and registered four assists in 27 appearances at club level last term.
Leicester City leading Manchester United in race for David Brooks?

Leicester City are ahead of Premier League rivals Manchester United in the race to sign Bournemouth winger David Brooks, according to a report.
The versatile 23-year-old, who is comfortable playing on either wing or in central midfield, has been tipped to leave Bournemouth following their relegation to the Championship.
Brooks missed the majority of 2019-20 with a long-term injury, but he returned after the coronavirus shutdown and did not take long to regain his form.
United showed an interest in Brooks before he injured his ankle last year and are rumoured to have made contact with Bournemouth this summer.
However, the Manchester Evening News reports that Leicester are ready to make an offer for the Wales international and are now considered the frontrunners to sign him.
Leicester finished fifth in the Premier League last season and begin their 2020-21 campaign with a trip to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
