Man Utd alerted as Roma convinced Paratici facing Juventus axe

Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici is under pressure - with his job under threat.

Paratici is being questioned after choosing to sign USA midfielder Weston McKennie ahead of Uruguay striker Luis Suarez for their final non-EU spot.

Il Messaggero says Roma are watching developments and have a contract offer prepared if Paratici is pushed out.

Departing Roma chief Guido Fienga has recommended Paratici to the club's new board and a three-year deal worth €2m-a-year is being put together.

Paratici has also been linked with Manchester United, where their board is under pressure to hire a first director of football after a disappointing summer market campaign.
