Manchester United still retain an interest in the Roma director Monchi.

The reports are coming out of La Gazzetta dello Sport, with the Italian paper claiming that both United and Barcelona are circling around the Spanish transfer guru.

Monchi is known for the work that he has done at both Sevilla and Roma.

It is widely known that United are trying to add a better footballing structure for the following season.

The club were unhappy at disagreements between the manager Jose Mourinho and the board over transfer targets.

It is likely a man will be appointed as a Director of Football at United before the season is over.
