Barcelona are weighing up January moves for Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard, according to reports.

The Manchester United duo are out of contract next summer and the Red Devils may therefore be tempted to listen to offers in January.

Ralf Rangnick is on the verge of taking over as United's interim manager until the end of the season.

Lingard and Cavani's contractual situations mean an exit is likely for both, and Barcelona are keeping close tabs on the situation.

According to Mundo Deportivo, new Barca boss Xavi Hernandez is keen to bolster his team's attacking ranks in the mid-season market.
