Mendes wants to place Lazio striker Keita Balde Diao at Man Utd

Manchester United are eyeing Lazio striker Keita Balde Diao.

The Senegalese ace, 21, has been on the radar of a host of European giants – including United and AC Milan – for some time now, says The Sun.

Lazio owner Claudio Lotito is willing to sell his young star, only if Man United and Co are willing to bump up their offer.

But it won't all be easy for United, even if Mourinho is willing to hand over the near £30m sum, as Keita's representatives - including agent Jorge Mendes - have already confirmed their man is open to listening to all offers from Milan.

Portuguese super-agent Mendes on the other hand is reportedly keen to bring his man to the Premier League, with United the preferred new home.
