Roma director Tiago Pinto has this week refused to rule out a January transfer window swoop for out-of-favour Manchester United starlet Diogo Dalot.
The Italian giants have been linked with the United full-back ever since the arrival of Jose Mourinho in the dugout during the summer.
Mourinho worked closely with Dalot, 22, during his stint at Old Trafford and once boldly labelled his compatriot 'the best young full-back in Europe' and talked up his talents both on and off the ball.
Mourinho was responsible for bringing Dalot to England for a fee just short of £20million, though the youngster's career in the Premier League remains yet to take off.
