Manchester United are in talks with Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Corriere dello Sport says United had a scout at Roma's showdown with Verona on Saturday to watch Radja Nainggolan.

And Pellegrini turned the spy's head as well as he completed the full 90 minutes of his team's comfortable 3-0 victory.

United made their interest in Pellegrini known by getting in touch with his agent on Monday morning.

And that call apparently concerned the €30m release clause included in the agreement the 21-year-old penned in June.
