AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho reportedly wants to sign a certain Manchester United star as he aims to bolster his squad for the 2023/24 season.
The Portuguese tactician is looking to raid his former club for another midfielder once again, although this time he is keen on Fred.
The Brazil international was a regular in Erik ten Hag's side last season and contributed with six goals and six assist, but his future remains unclear following reports of Mason Mount joining the club.

The Sun have reported that Mourinho and Roma are interested in signing the 30-year-old this season as he is a 'big fan' of the player.
Reports in England previously claimed that Fulham were also keen on signing the Brazilian midfielder, with the Red Devils prepared to let the player leave for £20million.
Mourinho was in charge of the Red Devils when Fred joined the club from Ukraine giants Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018.
Fred did reveal after the FA Cup final that he would be considering his future as he wants to play more matches.
"Of course I always want to be playing, to be helping my team, and gladly today I started, and I think we played well," Fred told TNT Sports.
"I still don't know, I have to talk with my family. I still have one year left on my contract here. Now it's holiday time and a good opportunity to rest. I'll talk to my staff, to the club, and see what everyone's decision is.
"I do have to talk with Ten Hag as well; he's the manager, and the conversation has to involve everyone. We have to see how next season will play out. I want to be important; I want to help the team, so we'll see. But I've always been and still am very happy at Manchester United."
