They have already agreed a fee with Shakhtar Donetsk for Brazilian midfielder Fred and are also considering making a move for the Italian midfielder in the ongoing window.
However, the Red Devils could face stiff competition from two more clubs as according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Arsenal and Juventus are also eyeing a move for the Italian.
New Arsenal boss Unai Emery is claimed to have identified Pellegrini as a possible target and Juventus have been keeping tabs on the Roma midfielder for a while.
