Manchester United have maintained their watching brief for Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Pellegrini has emerged as a major target for United this season.

They posted scouts to watch Pellegrini in action against AC Milan on Sunday.

The 21-year-old played an hour of the Giallorossi's visit to the San Siro, which they eventually won 2-0.

Pellegrini is said to have a release clause of €25m written into his contract at the Stadio Olimpico.
