Right footed. 19 years old (20 in November). Joined from Forli in Italy in summer 2016. Has a couple of starts for Italy U20s and a few sub appearances, though not in current World Cup squad.
He started 6 games for the U23s while still eligible for the U18s in 17/18. During that spell our defensive record was far better than at others times that season, conceding just 4 goals while he was on the pitch and another two in the mins he was sent off for. Barely featured for U18s.
In 18/19 he had to wait until Regan Poole and Ro-Shaun Williams had departed before he got another chance in the U23s in the League. Started the last 7 games of the season (team conceded 8 goals while he was on the pitch and another 3 in the last 20 mins of final match after he was substituted). Made 3 starts in the PL2 U23 International Cup. Also got six starts for U19s.
Lacks the physicality/height/athleticism to be a serious contender for United's first team in his early 20s, more of a composed CB, though not currently at Blind or Lindelof level. Possible he might be a good player in his mid to late 20s, once he has a lot of experience. A taller version of Regan Poole, a bit shorter than Paddy McNair but fairly similar strengths and weaknesses.
TMW in Italy believe he has a 2 year offer from United and that there is one Serie A team and several Serie B teams interested in signing him for a minimal development fee this summer.
