Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Torino wing-back Raoul Bellanova.

According to Tuttosport, the Red Devils have sent scouts to watch the Italian 'multiple times' this season.

He is enjoying an impressive campaign for Torino, who are 10th in the league, with five assists to his name thus far.

In fact, he is currently one of the most in-form players in Serie A, with four goal contributions in his last six appearances.

United are looking to add this kind of dynamism to the right side of their defence this summer.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to be sold, while Diogo Dalot is yet to prove that he can nail down a starting place long term.

Man Utd target another Serie A star

The Red Devils have also been linked with Atalanta's Giorgio Scalvini ahead of the forthcoming transfer window.

There is an acceptance at Atalanta that the central defender will be their next big star to move on and the game is now about getting the best fee possible.

A report this week in Calciomercato stated that the club are hoping to receive as much as €50 million valuation for their homegrown talent.

United are in dire need of defensive reinforcements this summer with Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane out of contract and the futures of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof far from secure.

Furthermore, lines of communication have been opened between the clubs since the transfer of Rasmus Hojlund last summer.

It was reported in January that the Red Devils had contacted Atalanta over the possibility of also adding Scalvini.
