Napoli are reportedly planning a swoop for Manchester United’s Uruguayan talent Guillermo Varela.

The 22-year-old right-back impressed at Penarol, then played for the youth teams of Real Madrid and Manchester United, but at his age is eager to make the step up.

So far this season he has made one appearance in the Champions League and one in the Premier League, but Louis van Gaal does not seem willing to give him more playing time.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli are looking at a January move for Varela.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli are looking at a January move for Varela.

He could well be initially sent out on loan to another Serie A club in order to gain experience and settle into Italian life.

Having lost Paul Pogba to Juventus on a free transfer, United will be wary of letting a Serie A side take one of their young players at a low cost.
