Manchester United scout Italy’s €50m midfield sensation 

Manchester United have scouted the 21-year-old Nicolo Barella. In Italy's 1-0 win over Poland on Sunday night Barella has attracted the attention of some of Europe's biggest clubs. He was the best player on the pitch at the Silesian Stadium – no mean feat given he started in midfield alongside Chelsea pass-master Jorginho and Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Verratti. After making an impressive start to his Italy career, Nicolo Barella is now undoubtedly one of the most coveted young players in world football with both Milan clubs, Juventus and Roma all fighting for his signature. Blessed with incredible stamina, he gets through an impressive amount of work in the middle of the park. No outfield player in Serie A has made more recoveries than Barella this season (72), while only five players have won more tackles than him (16). At just 21, he has already developed into a leader at Cagliari, a player willing to take charge of the game. So he could be a very important addition to Manchester United squad.
