United were believed to be interested in signing Coentrao last summer under David Moyes but couldn’t push a deal through before the transfer window closed, but new manager Louis van Gaal is now ready to return to the table for the former Benfica man.
Coentrao has well and truly lost the battle for the first choice left back role at the Bernabeu to Brazilian international Marcelo and could well provide experienced cover at a reasonable price, with United looking hideously thin on the ground at the back.
