The journalist further claims that the 29-year-old's ability to play both in the centre-back and left-back positions has attracted United and considering he is available for free, they are looking to sign him.
Hermoso left Atletico Madrid last month after his contract expired, meaning United could secure his signature quickly if they formalise their interest.
