​Man Utd, Spurs 'pressing for months' with interest in Roma whizkid Zaniolo

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo.

The youngster was meant to light up Euro 2020, which is now happening next summer.

He is recovering from an ACL injury himself, but is expected to regain full fitness.

And Leggo claims that United and Spurs want to sign him, and have pursued his signature for 'months'.

Spurs would see him as someone to pick up the mantle of Christian Eriksen.

Meanwhile, United would look at Zainolo as a top target if they were to lose Paul Pogba to Real Madrid or Juventus this summer.

The 20-year-old is someone that Roma want to keep, but a big offer from England may be too hard to turn down in this economic climate.
