The newspaper goes on to write that Roma are proposing another season-long loan for €3m with a €14m obligation to buy next summer.
That would take the Giallorossi’s total outlay for the defender to €20m, including the €3m they paid United for a dry loan last year.
The Red Devils wanted €25m for the 31-year-old but recently brought their demands down to nearer the €20m mark.
