Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has reportedly discussed Atalanta BC midfielder Franck Kessie with Red Devils centre-back Eric Bailly, who plays alongside the teenager for Ivory Coast.
The 19-year-old, who has scored six goals in 12 appearances for Atalanta this season, has been linked with moves to Man United, Arsenal, Juventus and Barcelona in recent weeks.
Earlier this season, Kessie was quoted as saying that he wants to represent Man United in the future, and according to France Football, Mourinho has had discussions with Bailly over his international teammate.
The teenager started his professional career with Stella Club in Ivory Coast, before making the move to Atalanta in 2015. Last season, Kessie scored four league goals during a loan spell with Cesena.
