Why did Manchester United send a scout to Sassuolo?

Manchester United are monitoring Italian Serie A Sassuolo midfielder Davide Pratesi.

The 22-year-old Italian midfielder has been showing his presence to the fullest since last season. After joining Sassuolo in 2017, he gained experience by going through three loan periods. Last season, he played 36 league games for Sassuolo, scoring 4 goals and 4 assists, and his ability was recognized.

And this season, too, he is scoring 6 goals in 27 matches. His performance was acknowledged by Italian national team coach Roberto Mancini. He even had the honor of making his debut for the Italy A national team.

Last year, Fratesi signed a contract extension with Sassuolo until 2026. However, it seems that the courtship of big clubs will continue this summer. 메이저사이트

Italian media, Gazzetta dello Sport, reported that Man Utd is interested in Fratesi and is showing enthusiasm enough to dispatch a scout to Sassuolo.

The media added that AS Roma, where Fratesi spent his youth life, is also aiming for a reunion. Roma tried to sign him last year, but Fratesi chose to stay at Sassuolo.

Manchester United will continue to send scouts until this summer to receive reports on Fratesi.

Manchester United bolstered their midfield by bringing in Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last summer, but Eriksen is out with a serious ankle injury in January this year.
