Manchester United are currently finding themselves positioned strongly in the Premier League table, thanks to the brilliant form, most of their players are in, helping their team to show good promise of clinching their 14th title in the history of one of the most enthralling leagues in Europe.
However, the man in charge at Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho, is looking to keep any sign of complacency at bay and guide the team to more triumphs in the forthcoming matches, both in the domestic as well as European tournaments. The wily Portuguese is eyeing quite a few players to be brought into the side to make it even stronger, despite having a great team at his disposal.
Reportedly, the Portuguese tactician is looking to rope in Italian youngster Lorenzo Pellegrini in a move to strengthen his midfield for the next season. The player is one of the most highly rated young midfielders in the Serie A at the present moment and is being watched by a number of scouts from the big name clubs from all over Europe.
The 21-year-old, who is known for his composed style of play in the midfield, has been playing for his present club Roma for quite some time now and established himself as a key first-team player already
Being a product of their academy and has been making ripples with his abilities to keep the ball under control for a significant amount of time and supply quality balls into the opposition box in order to feed his teammates and help them put their names on the scoresheet.
He spent the last two seasons on loan at Sassuolo in order to get a considerable amount of first-team experience under his belt and has now returned to the Italian club and has already featured in the senior side four times so far. His skills have been highly praised by the football experts and a number of big-name clubs are lurking in order to lure him away from the Stadio Olimpico in the next season.
The Red Devils are well aware of the fact that the current season might be the last one for one of their most dependable players in the central midfield, Micheal Carrick and are willing to get a player who can be a viable replacement for the Englishman in the forthcoming days and give stability to the side.
With the 21-year-old Italian starlet Lorenzo Pellegrini in their sight, it might be possible that Manchester United might have found the perfect candidate to fit their bill. Can he replicate Carrick at Old Trafford?
