Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Flamengo defender Wesley during this summer's transfer window.
The Red Devils are believed to have already put a deal in place to sign Sporting Lisbon teenager Geovany Quenda at the end of the campaign, with the 17-year-old set to make the move to Old Trafford in a £50m deal.
Quenda played as a right-sided wing-back under now Man United head coach Ruben Amorim at Sporting, and it is understood that he will be used in that area of the field by the Red Devils.
However, according to Fichajes, there is genuine interest from the 20-time English champions in another right-back, with Wesley catching the club's attention due to his strong performances for Flamengo.
The report claims that Zenit St Petersburg are also keen, with the Russian outfit making an offer of €30m (£24.9m), but Man United would fancy their chances of winning the race for his signature during the upcoming market.

Man United 'interested' in Flamengo defender Wesley
Quenda's expected arrival would throw the future of Diogo Dalot into doubt, especially as Patrick Dorgu arrived from Lecce in the latter stages of the January window.
Dorgu is expected to challenge Luke Shaw for the left-sided wing-back spot, although the latter, should he remain fit, could be required to play as a left-sided centre-back, as Lisandro Martinez is out for a long period with a serious knee problem.
Should Wesley also arrive, then there is unlikely to be room for Dalot; Real Madrid and Barcelona are both believed to be admirers of the Portugal international, who has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2028.
There is expected to be an overhaul of the Man United squad this summer, with the team on course for their lowest-ever finish in the Premier League, and a number of tough decisions will need to be made for financial reasons.

Would Wesley be a good signing for Man United?
Wesley has been with Flamengo since 2021, making 110 appearances for the club, scoring twice and registering three assists.
The 21-year-old is primarily a right-back and does not have too much experience playing as a wing-back, but Man United scouts allegedly believe that he would have no problems operating slightly further forward.
Flamengo are believed to be bracing themselves for offers during this summer's transfer window, and he could turn out to be a very smart signing for the Red Devils depending on his price, but for both Quenda and Wesley to arrive at Old Trafford, Dalot may have to be moved on.
