Manchester United Track Bari Defenders Andrea Ranocchia & Leonardo Bonucci - Report
The Premier League giants are ready to raid Serie A for some upcoming defenders...
03-Dec-2009 8:00:26 PM
Manchester United are monitoring Bari defender Andrea Ranocchia as major European clubs join the race to sign him.
Sportmediaset.it claims Sir Alex Ferguson has been sending scouts from Old Trafford to watch him in action. Ranocchia is owned by Genoa and on-loan with Bari where he has made a great impact.
The Italian Under-21 international has helped the Galletti maintain a defensive record which can only be matched by league leaders Inter.
He is seen as a hot prospect for the future, but United face stiff opposition in order to land him. Juventus and Inter are both expected to revive their interest, while local Italian media suggest Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti will show his hand.
It is said the Red Devils are also keen on Ranocchia's team-mate Leonardo Bonucci. The 22-year-old central defender can play on both wings and is also wanted by several clubs.
