Manchester United alerted after De Rossi linked with summer exit from Roma

According to dailymail.co.uk, Manchester United chances of signing Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi have been boosted by the news that the Italy international is considering his future with the Serie A outfit.

De Rossi has experienced a somewhat troubled stay at the Stadio Olimpico over the past three seasons and his representatives are believed to be pushing for an £18 million move away from Roma in the summer.

The Roma vice-captain recently separated from his wife whilst his father-in-law was shot dead. Furthermore, after openly admitting to a fallout with the Roma faithful, he has given his clearest indication yet that he open to a move, despite his boyhood ties with the club.
