Manchester United have been linked with Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali.

Tonali, 19, has been dubbed 'the new Andrea Pirlo', although the Brescia star himself has expressed that he's trying to emulate his idol Gennaro Gattuso.

Fiorentina negotiated for the Italy international last summer, but Brescia eventually chose to keep the midfielder.

Now, Calciomercato.com says Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax scouted Tonali for Sunday's meeting with Bologna.

The three clubs are interested in acquiring Tonali for the upcoming January transfer window.
