Manchester United have held talks with Roma defender Kostas Manolas.
Sky Italia says United have met with the entourage of the Greece international about a move to England.
United are preparing a €40 million bid for Manolas, who is also a target for Antonio Conte's Chelsea.
Manolas' minders met with United officials on May 13 and 14 and were encouraged after talks.
Roma could be forced to sell, with Manolas' former club Olympiacos demanding 50 per cent of the remaining original fee yet to paid.
