Man Utd, Man City tracking Genoa sensation Pietro Pellegri

Manchester United and Manchester City are tracking Italian whizkid Pietro Pellegri.

Calciomercato.com says Juventus have made enquiries regarding the young striker's availability.

It was claimed Manchester United - along with City - have also been tracking his progress.

"I've got the next [Lionel] Messi here and I just hope it doesn't go to his head," Genoa president Enrico Preziosi said.

At 15-years-old, Pellegri became the Italian top flight's joint youngest-ever player after a three minute cameo in their 1-0 defeat against Torino.
