The 19-year-old is contracted to Atletico Madrid but has made just two La Liga appearances for his parent club.

Arsenal and Chelsea are also reported to be in the hunt for Niguez, who has impressed in the Spanish top flight this season.

Also in action for Rayo was centre-back Alex Galvez, a former target of Borussia Dortmund and a player who could interest United.
