Manchester United 'to scout Hakan Calhanoglu in Europa League tie'

Manchester United will reportedly scout AC Milan attacker Hakan Calhanoglu when the Red Devils lock horns with the Italian giants in the last-16 stage of the Europa League.

The 27-year-old has still not signed a new contract with Milan, meaning that, as it stands, he will be able to leave San Siro on a free transfer at the end of June.

United have been strongly linked with the Turkey international, who has been in impressive form at club level this season, scoring six times and registering 11 assists in 29 appearances in all competitions.

According to The Express, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will scout the versatile attacker when they face Milan in the next round of the Europa League, with the first leg due to take place on March 11 at Old Trafford.

Calhanoglu has scored once in five outings in the Europa League this season, while he has netted one goal and registered nine assists in 20 appearances in Serie A.

Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Arsenal have also all previously been credited with an interest in his services.
