Manchester United step up interest in Arsenal and Liverpool target Andrea Belotti

Manchester United are reportedly stepping up their interest in Italy international striker Andrea Belotti, according to transfermarketweb.

The Premier League side, who kept hold of sixth spot in the top-flight table following Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Watford at Old Trafford, have been linked with luring the Torino star to The Theatre of Dreams this summer.

The 23-year-old, who has five international caps for his country, has impressively scored 19 goals and provided four assists in 24 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A outfit so far this season.

Belotti, who is also said to be attracting interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, is understood to have a whopping £84m buy-out clause after penning a new deal with Torino back in December 2016.

The report suggests The Red Devils are closely monitoring the Italian’s goalscoring exploits, who could serve as a long-term replacement for fellow forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic at United, despite the Swede being tipped to extend his stay at Old Trafford by a further year this summer.
