David Moyes wants to sign two central midfielders in the summer, with Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gundogan his main targets.
Verratti has been a long-term option for United, dating back to when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge, and Moyes has the 21-year-old on his list too.
However, the PSG man says he will not leave Paris in the summer.
“Next season I will still be in Paris,” Verratti has told L’Equipe this week.
“In France I am very happy. It does not depend only on me, but my intention is to stay.”
