With big changes announced at Manchester United this summer, multiple players are likely to be sold or allowed to leave.
For example, Nemanja Matic has already made it clear he would be leaving Old Trafford to find himself a new adventure, while the likes of Eric Bailly, hardly used by either Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Ralf Rangnick, will need to find themselves new clubs.
Thankfully, for a few of those involved in possible departures, there is one club who appears ready to save a number of Manchester United outcasts.
That’s AS Roma in Italy, currently managed by José Mourinho, who knows a number of United players from his time in charge of the Red Devils.
Two outlets report an interest from the Serie A side in three Manchester United players, with those being the aforementioned Matic and Bailly, as well as Diogo Dalot.
Roma’s desire to sign the full-back is nothing new in itself, and nor is the Portuguese manager’s affinity for the Serbian midfielder, having managed him at Chelsea and Old Trafford in the past.
As for Eric Bailly, he was signed by Manchester United when Mourinho was in charge.
Corriere dello Sport explain that Roma could go all out with their signings this summer, with the Growth Decree helping them afford the wages.
Matic, Bailly and Dalot are all said to have been in Tiago Pinto’s ‘notebook for a long time’, which is a sentiment echoed by Calciomercato.
They state that while Granit Xhaka and Douglas Luiz are on the list of midfielders being looked at, there’s also the 33-year-old Manchester United defensive midfielder on there.
On top of that, ‘two other players could arrive from Old Trafford’ as Roma have ‘set their sights on Diogo Dalot and Eric Bailly’.
The problem for those two, however, is that ‘we have to wait for the last word of the new manager Ten Hag, who will leave Ajax for United in the summer’.
