JUVENTUS midfielder Weston McKennie is reportedly “interested” in a move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils were closing in on a move for McKennie’s team-mate Adrien Rabiot but they failed to agree wages with the Frenchman’s mum.
And this leaves Juve needing to sell another of their midfielders in order to fund a deal for Paris Saint-Germain star Leandro Paredes.
According to Sky Sports Deutschland, McKennie is a target for Man Utd amid a crisis time at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag is scrambling around for players who will improve his squad and McKennie would bolster his options in the middle of the park.
However, the report admits that the most likely outcome is McKennie remains at Juventus as he has a strong relationship with manager Max Allegri.

United are also yet to submit any kind of formal request for the 23-year-old American.
Meanwhile, they are closing in on a move for Real Madrid star Casemiro, 30.
They have agreed a four-year deal for the £60million Brazilian star, with the player set to receive £290,000 per week.
But it is not only United’s transfer business which is hitting the headlines.

Off the pitch, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has declared an interest in taking over the club from the Glazers.
The £15billion man could be set to obtain a minority stake in the Premier League club worth around £5bn.
The Glazer family have owned United since 2005, purchasing the club for £800m.
On the pitch, the Red Devils have declined over the past decade – failing to win the Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013.
And their opening two results of the new campaign – a 2-1 loss to Brighton and 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Brentford – have led to even louder calls for the Glazers to sell.
