After an embarrassing Europa League defeat to Chelsea, Emery is on the hunt looking for decisive targets to bolster his squad.
And according to reports, the Spaniard is willing to do anything to secure his signings as early as possible in preparation for the next season.
Indeed, the determined coach is now planning to hijack a player that United has been monitoring and inquiring for a while now.
The player in question is PSG’s own Thomas Meunier.
Meunier, who has had an abysmal season after falling behind the pecking order to the likes of Colin Dagba and Thilo Kehrer might be looking to exit the Paris Giants very soon.
Initially, it was believed that the player would be making his way to Old Trafford. But now, Emery is interested in him!
The Belgium international could be available for as little as €20m (£17.7m) due to his contract expiring at the end of next season.
Emery knows Meunier well thanks to his spell in charge of PSG between 2016 and 2018.
He would likely enjoy plenty of football at the Emirates Stadium despite competition from Hector Bellerin.
According to Paris United, Meunier’s camp believe the potential move to Arsenal is progressing nicely.
But Gunners bosses are reportedly reluctant to firm up their interest with an offer until they secure guarantees from Meunier that he wants to join.
A lack of Champions League football is unlikely to be a problem for Arsenal because their only transfer rivals are also facing a season in the Europa League.
Ole Gunner Solskjaer is on the hunt for a right-back to succeed the departing Antonio Valencia.
