Mendy is enjoying a superb campaign in Ligue 1, leading to interest not only from the Red Devils but also from AS Roma, who currently sit third in Serie A.

The 20-year-old had previously been linked with AC Milan, but the Phoceens would not be willing to sell the player and are considering offering him a new contract, although as yet, no contract has been forthcoming.
