Manchester United are on the brink of beating arch rivals, Liverpool, to the exceptional young talent who is one of the best in Europe.

Manchester United and Liverpool are perpetual enemies. When they go toe to toe to try and sign a player the rivalry erupts even more intensely at times than it does on the football pitch. Both clubs fight for everything to try and convince their coveted target to join them over their much despised rival.

In the case of Sandro Tonali one can see why the clubs are so desperate to secure the signing of the Italian international. The Brescia midfielder is clearly an outstanding talent. Sandro Tonali plays with an ethereal elegance on the ball. He is extremely composed in midfield exuding confidence and keeps possession of the ball with ease. Yet at times he can be bullish too and he is fierce in the tackle, unafraid of intense physical battles.

Sandro Tonali’s exuberance makes him the perfect all round midfield player. The Italian has been likened to his compatriot Andrea Pirlo in the past for his uncanny vision as well as Steven Gerrard for his ability to impact the game both going forward and defensively.

Liverpool were heavily linked with Sandro Tonali last month, however it seems that the Reds’ interest may have faded in recent times which will give Manchester United a huge boost in their pursuit.

In the latest report by Calcio Mercato via Caught Offside, the Italian outlet credits Manchester United with an interest and omits Liverpool from the teams vying for the services of Sandro Tonali.

With the Red Devils desperate to bolster their midfield options and replace their star player Paul Pogba, Sandro Tonali might be the perfect candidate.

Tonali may have been likened to Gerrard and Pirlo but he is of the same ilk as Pogba and he could have a transformative impact on the Manchester United midfield. The Red Devils should do everything in their power to ensure Liverpool continue to be deterred from showing more interest in the player and try to wrap up a deal for Sandro Tonali as soon as possible.
