The Sun says United are targeting the 16 year-old attacking midfielder, though face Premier League competition.

The teen stands only at 5ft 5in and was called up by Italy boss Roberto Mancini to join the country's best young talent at a training camp with the senior team.

Brexit means British clubs cannot swoop for Pafundi - or other top youngsters from Europe - until they are 18. Leicester, Liverpool and Everton have also been mentioned as potential suitors.
