United's football director John Murtough flew to Riyadh last month to open talks on potential transfer deals for a number of Red Devil players.
Old Trafford are open to selling their highest-earner Casemiro this summer.
The Brazillian is on £375,000 -a-week and has not played since the start of November due to a hamstring injury,

And the nearly 32-year-old could be en route to reuniting with his former Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.
The Saudi Pro League side are not only eyeing up the midfielder but also defender Wan-Bissaka.
The 26-year-old is currently on £90,000 a week meaning if United sell both stars to the Gulf State they could save nearly half a million a week on their salaries.
After Al-Nassr saw a £20m bid rejected for Tottenham's right-back Emerson Royal last week they are keen to retry their efforts on Wan-Bissaka.

The Englishman's future in Manchester is uncertain as the club triggered a 12-month contract extension in December but did not offer the defender a long-term deal.
His agents held contract talks with United chiefs earlier this month but the outcome was unsuccessful.
Even though Wan-Bissaka's former side Crystal Palace and West Ham have expressed their interest they will find it difficult to match the oil-rich state-owned Saudi side's offer.
Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane - who earn £250,000 and £340,000 respectively - have also not received a contract extension and are set to leave as free agents in the summer.
