Manchester United sent scouts to watch Brescia's teenage star Sandro Tonali play against Juventus in Serie A on Monday night.
The 19-year-old playmaking midfielder made 34 appearances last season in Serie B as his performances helped Brescia gain promotion to the top flight. He has since started this season well, featuring in all five of the club's opening league games and notching an assist against Bologna.
Starting alongside former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli – who was making his debut for the club – Tonali put in another impressive display and, despite Brescia’s 2-1 defeat, his performance will have added to Manchester United’s interest in the Italian Under-21 international.
