Manchester United are reportedly revisiting a potential move for Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini, a development that could significantly alter their summer transfer strategy. While the club's primary focus has been securing a third midfielder, pursuing a top-level centre-back like Scalvini might postpone those plans until next year. United have admired the Italy international for two years, scouting his progress.

Scalvini, valued around €55 million, is not only a promising Serie A defender but also offers versatility, capable of playing as a defensive midfielder. This dual role makes him an intriguing prospect for United's long-term requirements. Although there's no active contact with Atalanta yet, internal discussions are ongoing. Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, and several other Serie A clubs also hold an interest in the 22-year-old.
