Manchester United have put Lyon left-back Michel Bastos on their list of possible targets to replace Patrice Evra.

Bastos, 27, is a regular in the Brazil squad and was once a target for Tottenham but Lyon now rate him at a costly £20m.

UPDATE: Man Utd January 2011 Transfer News

The 22-year-old was linked with United last month but the Daily Mail reports that Sir Alex Ferguson has been alerted to the fact the Benfica are already on the look-out for a replacement with Everton target Taye Taiwo of Marseille and Oscar Wendt of FC Copenhagen among the players they are looking at.

United are considering a bid for £20million-rated Coentrao, amid growing concerns over the future of Patrice Evra, who is still weighing up a possible move abroad at the end of the season.
