Manchester United could step up their pursuit of Club Brugge left-back Joaquin Seys when the transfer window reopens in January.
The Red Devils were fancied to land a new left-back during the last transfer window, but could not find a suitable agreement for any player.
Newcastle United's Lewis Hall was the prime target, but the Magpies were adamant that he was not for sale. He has since penned a long-term contract.
Seys was also considered by the Red Devils, but Brugge decided to keep the Belgian, having sold Christos Tzolis to Arsenal earlier this summer.
United did not proceed with an approach as a result, but they could step up their pursuit this winter after the fitness concerns for Luke Shaw.
Patrick Dorgu has been inconsistent as a deputy at left-back, and United seem prepared to test Brugge's resolve with a big-money proposal.
Brugge previously valued Seys at around £30m, and it may take a much higher fee to convince them to sell at the start of the New Year.
