Cagliari Calcio midfielder Nicolo Barella would reportedly find it 'impossible to say no' to Manchester United should the Red Devils make an offer for him.

Barella, 21, has been strongly linked with the likes of Chelsea and Inter Milan in recent weeks.

However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, United are keen on bringing the midfielder to Old Trafford and the Italy international would find it difficult to turn down the 20-time English champions.

Barella came through the youth system at Cagliari and has made 22 appearances in all competitions this season, including 19 in Serie A.

Last week, it was reported that Cagliari valued Barella in the region of £50m.
