Manchetser United manager Jose Mourinho is keen on bringing Miralem Pjanic to the Premier League, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international enjoyed a hugely prolific season for Roma last term with there no shortage of interest in his signature this summer.
A host of teams across Europe remain keen on Pjanic, but Mourinho is hoping to convince the midfielder that his future lies at Old Trafford.
United were one of the least creative sides in the Premier League last season and Mourinho has identified this area as one in need of improvement, with Pjanic fitting the bill perfectly.
No player registered more assists in Serie A last season than Pjanic (12), who was one of two players - along with Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne - to register double figures for both goals and assists last term.
