United boss, Ten Hag has approved the defender's pursuit and talks have gone on for weeks.
Manchester United are in the race to sign AS Monaco center-back Axel Disasi to bolster their defense.
The club is looking to bring in a new center-back this summer as they continue to overhaul the playing squad under Erik ten Hag.
Harry Maguire could well be on the way out, which could explain why the Dutchman has ‘approved’ Disasi's pursuit according to Fabrizio Romano.
Newcastle United are also in the race having approached the player's entourage this week and are expected to make contact with Monaco.

PREMIER LEAGUE Bring it on! Emile Smith Rowe unfazed by Kai Havertz's arrival at Arsenal
The Arsenal academy graduate was forced to spend most of last season on the treatment table, and while Havertz could oust him from Arteta's plans, he is excited by the arrival of his new team-mate.
The Frenchman is the perfect backup option to have for when Raphael Varane needs a rest (or is out injured), and could also be his long-term successor.
AS Monaco could let the Frenchman leave as they look to balance the books following finishing outside of the Champions League places.

FKFPL ‘You cannot lift the title by just talking’ - AFC Leopards’ Jaffari Owiti challenges club to learn from previous mistakes
Ingwe boss Dan Shikanda has promised to deliver league title next season but the talented winger wants his teammates to avoid previous mishaps to achieve the dream.
This feels like an astute move. United probably need one more center-back for depth purposes, though they will not want to spend a large chunk of their budget on the position.
Disasi is a talented player, available at a reasonable price. This is the sort of deal that could be fully funded by player sales this summer.
