ROMA midfiedler Radja Nainggolan has emerged as a key transfer target for Manchester United according to reports.
The 29-year-old has once again impressed for the Italian side this season, and looks destined to switch Serie A for the Premier League.
According to Sky Sports, the Red Devils have serious interest in the Belgian international as they battle Chelsea for his signature.
The Blues failed in a £34million bid to bring him to Stamford Bridge last summer, and now risk losing out to him to Jose Mourinho.
Having seen Morgan Schneiderlin leave Old Trafford in January, and Paul Pogba failing to hit the heights, as well as questions still being asked of Marouane Fellaini, a midfielder is high on the list of priorities for United.
