Manchester United are edging closer to landing £4 million-rated Banfield midfielder Nicolas Bertolo.

United have sent scouts to South America to watch the Banfield player who is aware of their interest.

Bertolo said: "Nothing is concrete. All I know is that United received passes to watch my games. It would be a dream to play for United. I would definitely be tempted."

Bertolo has also attracted the interest of Italian clubs Lazio and Juventus but United are in pole position to sign him.
