The 25-year-old Newcastle midfielder scored the opener in Italy's 2-0 win over Northern Ireland on Friday, assisting Moise Kean's sealer to set up a final against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
His tireless runs and precise passes have supercharged Manchester United's plans for a summer bid, with reports naming him their top midfield target to succeed Casemiro ahead of options like Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton.
Newcastle hailed his goal and assist online, but expect a £100m-plus demand amid tense recent talks over Dan Ashworth's move to United.
🚨🎙️ | Laurie Whitwell:
“I feel like the finances are there for #MUFC to push for at least TWO £70M+ world-class midfielders.”
