AS Roma are moving for Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic.

While he has a deal to 2023, Matic is to be granted a free transfer by United after announcing he would be leaving last week.

TMW says Roma have moved quickly and already initiated talks with the veteran's agents.

Roma coach Jose Mourinho, who originally signed Matic for United, has approved the approach.

Matic is open to leaving England this summer.
