United are expected to strengthen their midfield this summer as Erik ten Hag looks to overhaul his squad.
Eight players are understood to have been made available for transfers in order to fund the club’s business.
United remain linked with Mason Mount and Declan Rice as well as being one of three clubs eyeing Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
According to SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, Barella is another midfielder the club are interested in.
The report claims United are “crazy” about the Italy international and are one of four English clubs weighing up a move.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Newcastle United complete the quartet of potential suitors for Barella.
City will have the chance to take a closer look at the 26-year-old on Saturday as they face Inter in the Champions League final in Istanbul.
As for Liverpool, their imminent signing of Alexis Mac Allister is not thought to be the end of their midfield arrivals before next season.
