Edward Burleson, who is the Director of scouting in Europe for MLS side Kansas City, was happy to talk and just so happened to reveal that Manchester United are interested in Gianluca Busio.

Busio is a central midfielder who has enjoyed something of a breakout year, with four goals and two assists in 31 games in all competitions so far.

That’s caught Manchester United’s attention, and they’re one of several clubs keeping track of him.

“He’s a great talent. He is a player who can play safely in Europe,” Burleson told the website.

“He has great technique, he is a smart player, a box to box and he works hard. For me, if it wants to be successful at high levels, it must change soon.

“If he wants to make a great career, he has to go to Europe soon. Then the technician will decide his future, and I honestly don’t think he will let him go because he is a great talent, a product of our youth sector and a player of which we are proud.

“Inter? Yes, I also know about Manchester United. These are things that came out. We also had an offer, even if not from Inter. But we didn’t let him go.

“I don’t know if and when it will happen, maybe in a year or between two. But what is certain is that the pressure on Busio is always greater, given the many clubs that are coming forward.”
