English Premier League giants Manchester United are said to be interested in the signature of AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham who is in staggering form this season, Daily Star reports.

The former Chelsea forward is said to be attracting interest ahead of the summer transfer window as Arsenal are said to be monitoring his situation as well.

Abraham has notched 15 goals in 29 appearances for Jose Mourinho’s team, making him one of the most lethal finishers in Italy at the moment.

Corriere della Sera reports that the 24-year-old has attracted Manchester United who are considering a staggering £76million transfer fee for the forward this summer.

The news that United are eying up a move for Abraham will also raise concerns at Arsenal, as they too are keen on the Chelsea academy graduate according to several reports.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is desperate to sign a no.9 at the end of the season, with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah out of contract in the summer and set to depart.

Manchester United interview Mauricio Pochettino

Meanwhile, Manchester United are closing in on appointing a new manager after interviewing PSG’s Mauricio Pochettino for the plum job ahead of the coming season.

The Argentine tactician has been officially poached about taking on the role when this current season ends.

Pochettino was interviewed earlier in the week, as it comes days after the club had a discussion with Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as part of the ongoing process to appoint a new permanent manager this summer.

Aguero set to come out of retirement

Sports Brief earlier reported that Sergio Aguero has hinted at a possible return to football barely three months after announcing his retirement.

The Manchester City legend was forced to call it quits on a lucrative career aged only 33 after he was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia, months after signing for Barcelona.

There were signs that all was not well for Aguero when he went down clutching his chest during Barcelona’s La Liga clash against Alaves on October 30.
