D'Agostino in United link

Manchester United could look to Serie A again this summer for young talent.

Manchester United could look to Serie A again this summer for young talent, according to reports in Italy.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been buoyed by the success of Giuseppe Rossi in the Old Trafford reserves and could be tempted to look to the continent again when planning any additions to his squad this summer.

Messina midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino has attracted interest from United scouts and is said to be featuring on a list of possible targets.

The 22-year-old joined the Sicilian side on loan from Roma last summer but Messina seem set to obtain full ownership of the player.

Although there has been no contact yet between United, who are focusing on the FA Cup final with Arsenal, and Messina, D'Agostino could emerge as an option when Ferguson thinks over his transfer plans.

A creative influence, who prefers to operate behind two strikers, the Palermo-born youngster is something of a free kick expert. He has represented Italy at various levels up to the Under-21 side.
