AS Roma are enjoying a fantastic season start in Serie A with nine wins in the same amount of matches. With French manager Rudi Garcia at the helm of the team, AS Roma have been the most pleasant surprise in the Italian football competition so far. 

Their midfield line has been absolutely brilliant this term and there is one footballer that is attracting the attention of several foreign top teams: Miralem Pjanic.

The Italian media have been claiming over the last couple of days that Manchester United are ready to make a bid for Pjanic already during the next transfer window. The press are stating that the Red Devils will offer AS Roma somewhere around £25.6 million in order to convince them to release one of their most important players.

AS Roma’s board wanted to start from scratch this season after last campaign’s embarrassing results. They sold several players, brought in a quality and ambitious manager and have tried to maintain those players they believed to be important to achieve great things this term and Pjanic was one of them.

The Bosnian midfielder has been playing at a great level this season and his influence in the team’s midfield is notorious. Side-by-side with De Rossi, Strootman and Ljajic, he is part of what probably is one of the best midfield line in Serie A and maybe even in Europe.

Pjanic is a very versatile midfielder, but it is probably when acting as a deep lying playmaker that his performances are the best. He has awesome dribbling skills and his passing accuracy is phenomenal. He is very creative and very competent when it comes to scoring or creating chances from free kicks and he works a lot for the team.

Manchester United are experiencing several problems in the centre of the midfield and not even the arrival of Marouane Fellaini was able to solve the lack of creativity in that area of the field.

Pjanic allegedly refused several offers over last summer’s transfer window and he would probably not have an easy time making a decision if confronted with an eventual offer should AS Roma continue the fantastic run of results they have achieved so far. Manchester United would surely have to redouble their efforts in order to convince the Bosnian player to go to Old Trafford.
