A French trialist could be handed a starting place when United make the short trip up the road to face Dundee on Wednesday night.
The former Sochaux man came on after Stephen Wright was red-carded half an hour into Saturday's goalless draw with St Mirren. He did well and with Wright now suspended for the derby and David Partridge still sidelined by a groin injury, the Frenchman is the obvious choice to partner Jason de Vos in the centre of the United defence.
