The Red Devils are known to be after a new big-name striker signing for next season, with Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann long linked as their main target for that position.
However, United also seem to have taken notice of Belotti’s fine form in Serie A, with the 23-year-old netting 19 times so far in all competitions this season to attract links with various top European sides.

Arsenal have previously been mentioned as among the Italy international’s main suitors, while Real Madrid may also be planning a move.
Tuttomercatoweb claim that United’s interest is growing after some thorough scouting of the player in recent games, though this could be an expensive purchase for the club.
Belotti recently signed a new contract with Torino, which includes a release clause believed to be in the region of £84million – not far off what United paid Juventus for Paul Pogba last summer.Labels: latest, sport
