MANCHESTER UNITED are hoping to steal Roma sensation Nicolo Zaniolo from under Tottenham’s nose with a £25million bid.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly sees the youngster as a perfect piece in his ever-evolving puzzle, according to reports in Italy.
Now Calciomercato claim Man Utd are leading the race for ex-Inter Milan star Zaniolo, despite interest from Spurs and Juventus.
Zaniolo was part of the package which saw Radja Nainggolan leave Roma – joining Inter Milan – in the summer of 2018.
Ever since, the midfielder, 20, has caught the eye of Europe’s top club, including United and Tottenham.
Earlier this week, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was said to be confident of completing a move for the Italian as he revamps his midfield.
