Manchester United are continuing to monitor Standard Liege star Steven Defour and could make a move for him in the New Year.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is a long term admirer of the player and sent a message to him when he was recovering from a broken foot last winter. The Belgium international has regained his place in the first team after reaching match fitness and is viewed as a potential replacement for Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves.
Speaking to talkSPORT, a source confirmed United were watching Defour and could bid when the transfer window re-opens in January.
They said: "United were interested in Defour but there was no official bid. He wouldn't have moved this summer any way.
"Beyond that, we will look in January and assess it then. United remain keen on him, for sure."
