Man Utd, Barcelona encouraged as Monchi under pressure at Roma

AS Roma sports director Monchi's future has come into question - which has sparked interest from abroad.

The Spaniard is under pressure after overseeing the sales of Alisson Becker (Liverpool), Radja Nainggolan (Inter Milan) and Kevin Strootman (Marseille).

Indeed, it's suggested Monchi could be forced out of Roma before Christmas.

Gazzetta dello Sport says if the former Sevilla sports chief leaves, he won't be short of offers with Manchester United and Barcelona keen.

The two European giants are in the market for a new sports director and Monchi has great admirers inside both clubs.
