United Eye Porto Ace Boswinga

Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Quieroz has confirmed the club are tracking Porto defender Jose Bosingwa.

Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson is thought to be drawing up a list of targets as he searches for a long-term replacement for Gary Neville.

With doubts surrounding Neville's fitness and Wes Brown set to leave at the end of the season after rejecting a new deal, Ferguson is keeping tabs on the progress of Boswinga, among others.

United have showed a liking for the Portuguese market after bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson in recent years, and Bosingwa could be next.

Queiroz is quoted in the Daily Mail saying: ""There are some Porto players good enough to play for United if they want to Jose is one of them.

"He is a very good player and we are keeping an eye on him."

Aston Villa are also thought to be keen on Bosingwa as Martin O'Neill looks to bolster his defensive options.
