Bayer Leverkusen have made contact with Manchester United over a deal for full-back Brandon Williams, according to Sky in Germany.
The Bundesliga side are looking for a replacement for Santiago Arias, who joined the club on loan from Atletico Madrid in September but then suffered a broken leg and ankle ligament damage while on international duty with Colombia.
Arias had only been able to make one league appearance for his new club before the injury.
Leverkusen are understood to want Williams on a permanent basis but United are only entertaining a loan move for the 20-year-old, who can play at left or right-back.
Williams was a regular in United's squad last season, making 36 appearances across all competitions, but he has only played once - off the bench - in the Premier League in 2020-21 so far out of just five total appearances.
United are keen to get more first-team experience for Williams but not a permanent deal which, according to Sky in Germany, is Leverkusen's preference.
Leverkusen only lost top spot in Germany's top division to Bayern Munich when they were beaten 2-1 at home by the reigning champions on Saturday.
Sky Sports News reported last week that Southampton have made Williams a January target, having failed to secure a deal to sign him on loan in the summer.
