The Red Devils had previously trailed Paris Saint-Germain for the Portuguese international.
But the latest reports have resulted in United being made 13/8 frontrunners to sign Felix on loan or a permanent basis, ahead of PSG, any Saudi Arabian club and Newcastle United.
United were linked with Felix in January before he opted to join Chelsea for the final six months of the campaign.
But that interest clearly remains with Spanish publication ABC reporting that talks between Manchester United and Felix have begun.
A loan deal could suit all parties with Atletico reluctant to sell Felix given his sharp drop in value, while United could search for a blockbuster centre-forward signing next summer.

But there’s competition.
ABC claim Felix is not only interested in a Premier League return, but also requires European football.
It’s reported that Newcastle (12/1) and Aston Villa also want the forward, with the former able to offer UCL football and the latter Europa Conference action.
The player is keen to leave Atletico Madrid and has reportedly asked his agent Jorge Mendes to find him a new club.
Paris Saint-Germain are second-favourites at 11/4, with any Saudi Club available at 9/1.
Newcastle and Bayern Munich are priced at 12/1 and 16/1 respectively, while Inter Milan, Chelsea and Juventus are all bigger than 20/1.
