Manchester United have made an opening bid for Torino star striker Andrea Belotti.

Toro president Urbano Cairo has publicly declared he won't stand in Belotti's way should the right offer arrive for the Italy international.

Belotti's deal carries a €100 million buyout clause for foreign clubs.

And while he is a favourite of Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, Turin's La Stampa reports United have made contact and tabled an opening bid for the centre-forward.

The bid tabled is for €75 million, rising to €80 million.

While it falls short of Cairo's current demands, it's suggested the Granata supremo is prepared to soften his stance in the coming weeks.
