Manchester United have shortlisted Everton attacker Richarlison as an alternative if they don’t secure their main targets in January, according to a report on the Daily Mail.
The Red Devils are in pursuit of prolific striker Erling Haaland, who could cost them up to £85m.
If the deal doesn’t go smoothly, then United are expected to chase Richarlison, who netted the winner for Everton in their last league encounter against Southampton at the St Mary’s.
The 22-year-old has three goals and two assists to his name in the top flight this season and can operate anywhere in attack.

Everton need to be clear if United come calling for Richarlison – back off.
The Brazilian is the Toffees’ main player and there’s no way that they should even consider letting him leave, no matter what fee is offered.
He’s got a strong relationship with manager Marco Silva and he looks like the player that could fire Everton up the table.
