Five other European clubs are also interested in signing him
Jose Mourinho prioritized bolstering Manchester United squad in the summer transfer window after not winning a single silverware last season. They signed Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant before the transfer deadline.
However, the Portuguese was not happy with the outcome of the transfer window as he wanted few more players especially a high profile centre-back and a direct, fast winger to complete his squad.
After losing 2 consecutive games in the Premier League, the Red Devils were looking to be back on track after winning three games in a trot.
They were looking to make it 4 on a run against Wolves on Saturday and started positively after Fred opened the scoring, his first for the club. But they were held to a draw after they conceded a goal in the second-half, much to the frustration of the Portuguese.
However, it has been suggested that the manager will look to make few additions in the January transfer window to mount a Premier League title challenge and will be backed by the club.
Manchester United have joined the race for Cagliari star Nicolo Barella, according to Football Italia.
The midfielder came through the academy ranks of the Italian side and made his league debut back in 2015. He was sent on loan to Como in Serie B in January 2016 hand has been a key player for the club since he returned from his loan spell.
The 21-year-old sensation already received his first senior Italy call-up and has made a big impact at his hometown club. This season, he netted one goal in six Serie A appearances, but above all made numerous crucial tackles and interceptions.
It has been suggested the Serie A giants will demand €40 million for their prized asset and clubs like Liverpool, Inter, Juventus, Roma and AC Milan are also interested in signing him.
