Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is determined to bring a in a new left-back to Old Trafford before the start of the new Premier League season.
United had chased Everton's star player Leighton Baines, but the Toffees have refused to budge on their £15million asking price. Unfortunately, the Red Devils are unwilling to pay more than £12million for the 27-year-old and the deal looks set to collapse.
Sir Alex has now turned his attention to other another quality full-back - Chelsea's Ashley Cole is the man on United's radar, according to reports in the UK.
Chelsea are yet to offer Cole an extension on his current deal, which is just one year away from expiring.
FWF Magazine understands that no talks have been scheduled between Cole and the Club which means the England International could walk away at the end of this coming season.
Cole is said to not be pushing for a new deal and is happy to see things out.
Due to Fabio Da Silva's departure to QPR on a season-long loan, Manchester United only has one recognised left-back in the form of Patrice Evra within their Senior Squad.
