AS Roma are serious in their intent to sign Diogo Dalot on loan in January, judging by the number of reports about their interest in Italian media.
Sky Italia claims that Jose Mourinho has told the club's hierarchy that his team needs new recruits in several areas, including right-back. Dalot appears to be their preferred choice.
The Portuguese right-back is well known in Italy after his impressive loan spell at AC Milan last season. However, as he has only played 83 minutes in the Premier League so far, he might be open to a change of scenery.
Corriere dello Sport goes further stating that Roma are already in talks with United over a €1.5m loan deal with a €15m option to buy. Moreover, that could become an obligation if Dalot makes a certain number of appearances for Roma.
Mourinho was Dalot's first head coach at Man United. The 22-year-old made most appearances for the Red Devils under his fellow countryman while he has not been really trusted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
