Mertens is out of contract with the Serie A side at the end of the season and is yet to pen an extension.
The 32-year-old has scored 12 goals in 29 appearances this season and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to strengthen United's forward line at the end of the season.
Gazzetta dello Sport report the Belgium international is wanted by the Reds who could face competition from Chelsea and Arsenal.
Mertens can play right across the forward line but doesn't fit the profile of player Solskjaer is looking to bring to Old Trafford.
While a free transfer could be appealing for United, his wage demands would be a stumbling block to any potential deal as Mertens is approaching the final years of his career.
