Manchester United are being linked with a move for Calgiari star Nicolo Barella.

The youngster has impressed club around Europe with his mature displays.

The 21-year-old was linked to Chelsea, Inter Milan and other teams.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the club and player would be unable to say no if United were to make an offer this month.

But given United's managerial situation and the fact they have a squad with six central midfielders, it would be an unusual transfer.

Cagliari have set a price of £43 million for Barella.
