Manchester United have kicked off talks with Luca Ercolani about a new deal.

The young Italian defender has impressed for the U18s this season.

TMW says Ercolani's current deal expires in June and United have approached his agent about negotiations over a new contract.

The defender is keen, though is fielding interest from home and across Europe.

Ercolani, 19, has been capped at U20 level by Italy.
