Manchester United are set to launch a £15million bid for Bayern Munich star Philipp Lahm this January.
Sir Alex Ferguson is concerned at his ageing Manchester United defence, with Gary Neville in the twilight of his career and doubts over Rio Ferdinand’s long-term future.
Rafael is seen as Neville’s successor, but Ferguson sees 25-year-old Lahm as a potential mentor to the young Brazilian.
Lahm is seriously considering his Bayern future after he was fined for publicly questioning Louis van Gaal’s role as manager.
