Laporte is believed to be a boyhood United fan and would likely jump at the opportunity to link up with Louis van Gaal’s side, potentially putting the deal out of the hands of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger.
The young Frenchman has been imperious for Basque side Athletic Bilbao since breaking through into the first team and looks destined to be the club’s next youth product to make a big move away from San Mames.
