Manchester United have joined the scramble for Sampdoria striker Patrik Schick.

Calciomercato.com says United had scouts in the stands for Samp's derby win over Genoa yesterday.

Samp won 1-0, thanks to a Luis Muriel goal, but Schick was also influential in the triumph.

Chelsea are also scouting the youngster this season.

“The Premier League? Why not," Schick said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

“It's the best League in the world and above all the most balanced. Who knows, but right now I'm at Sampdoria."
