Roma chief explains how they enticed Tammy Abraham to club as Man Utd interest emerges

Roma general manager Tiago Pinto has opened up on how the club persuaded Tammy Abraham to depart English football to move to the Italian capital.

Having netted 30 goals in a season-and-a-half at Chelsea, following multiple prolific loan spells away from Stamford Bridge, the Giallorossi pounced to take advantage of Abraham's availability. The striker had fallen out of favour under then-Blues boss Thomas Tuchel as Roma made their move.

Abraham has been linked with a move to Manchester United – with Cristiano Ronaldo set to exit Old Trafford next summer and the club light on forwards – but Roma boss Jose Mourinho is keen to keep the striker around and there is little indication that Abraham is prepared to return to England anytime soon.
