Manchester United currently have players such as Herrera, Matic, Carrick, Fellaini, McTominay and record signing Paul Pogba in the midfield department.

Nevertheless, Carrick is set to retire in the summer, and Fellaini would most likely leave the Old Trafford at the end of the year. Hence, the Red Devils do need to sign a midfielder to reinforce the team, and an Italian star is on the radar.

According to the The Daily Star, Jose Mourinho is keen on luring Napoli’s highly-rated midfielder Jorginho, who has been in remarkable form for the Serie A side this campaign.

The British outlet claim that the Portuguese manager will try to tempt Napoli with a significant move worth €56m to land the 26-year-old star during the summer transfer window.

Overall, in 29 appearances in all competitions, the Italy international play breaker has so far managed to net four goals and provided four assists.

At Old Trafford, Nemanja Matic is currently the first choice midfield star in the squad. It will be exciting how the Portuguese manager will line up his team next season if he manages to sign the 26-year-old in the summer.

The ex-Chelsea chief may have to act quickly to land Jorginho because as The Daily Star states, Liverpool are also interested in the Serie A midfielder.
