The Portuguese tactician will take charge of United from Monday and he is unlikely to make any high-profile signings until next summer.

However, there could be a few cost-effective acquisitions this winter and JuveLive claim that Danilo is on the radar of Amorim.

The Brazilian international previously had a brilliant spell with Manchester City where he went on to win two Premier League titles.

He has gone on to become a key player for the Bianconeri, but he is expected to be offloaded in January with his contract expiring next summer.

The 33-year-old is available for a nominal fee and it is claimed that United could swoop for his signature when the transfer window reopens.

Danilo has the ability to play anywhere in the backline and this could be a prime reason behind Amorim's pursuit of the experience ace.
