Manchester United are among several Premier League teams monitoring Southampton's Romeo Lavia and the midfielder is very much admired by their rivals at the Etihad.
Southampton signed Lavia from Manchester City in a deal worth up to £14million last season, but the south coast side's relegation to the Championship means they could be forced to cash-in on their upcoming star. The 19-year-old was the shining light in an otherwise dismal campaign for the Saints, showing class beyond his years in central midfield.
United are keeping their options open regarding a second midfield signing this summer, with Mason Mount on the verge of becoming a Red. The midfielder underwent his medical on Monday after a £60million fee was agreed with Chelsea late last week.
