United are looking to sign a defensive midfielder and have been linked with Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic, who is also said to be a Juventus target.
Verratti appeared to be heading for Barcelona, but the Catalans have yet to agree a fee for the 24-year-old, with his club reportedly holding out for a fee in the region of €80m.
