Jose Mourinho is reportedly keeping an eye on the 22-year-old Roma midfielder to bolster his options at the center of the pitch.

Lorenzo Pellegrini, who has now established himself as a regular starter for Italy, has been in fine form for AS Roma this season.

He has scored 2 goals and amassed 5 assists in all competitions for I Giallorossi, prompting Manchester United to meet his £27million release clause this January.

Pellegrini is a central midfielder who can fit in the box-to-box role as well, providing the Red Devils with a crucial link between attack and defense.

He could also prove to be a good alternative to Mata for set-piece situations, with his current free-kick and corner duties with Roma helping him improve his dead-ball skills.

Corriere dello Sport recently reported that (h/t Football Italia) agents of the player and Manchester United directors had a meeting where a proposal of doubling of the player's wage was put forward.
