Unless you are a fan of Italian football or play FIFA regularly with Roma, then the name Alessandro Florenzi may not mean too much. But he is quickly being regarded as yet another great footballer to have come from Italy, and at the age of 25, is about to hit the peak of his career.

With big teams such as Manchester United reportedly circling round the Italian, is he good enough for a move away from Serie A?

With six goals and two assists in 26 games, he has had a really good season for Roma, who currently sit third in the Serie A table. It has been a good season in the Champions League too, with the team making it to the round of 16, only to lose to Real Madrid. Florenzi scored a spectacular goal against Barcelona in the group stages, announcing himself to the world.

In a team that contains great talent like Stephan El Shaaraway, Mohamed Salah and Miralem Pjanic, it is hard to get into the first team squad. However, Florenzi has the talent to be a mainstay within the first team. The first thing a manager would love about the Italian is his flexibility.

It's this flexibility which has seen him preferred in the team to experienced right back Maicon. For a team like Manchester United, Florenzi would be welcomed with open arms, with wingers Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young themselves being drafted in as wing backs.

But there is more to Florenzi's game, with the player able to play anywhere across the midfield, whether that be behind the striker, on the wing or in the middle of the park. It is this kind of player that every manager craves in his team.

Though Serie A is often seen as an uncompetitive league, Florenzi has proven himself for Roma on the bigger stage. As mentioned earlier, the Italian excelled against Barcelona in September, grabbing the crucial goal which gave the Giallorossi a share of the points.

For his country he has been in and around the squad, making a start in midfield in the last game. Considering his fellow countryman Matteo Darmian has settled in so well at Old Trafford, a move to United would not be a completely odd move. United desperately crave a young blooded midfielder who can both create chances but defend at the same time.

Though the signing of Memphis Depay was meant to brighten up United's play, he has struggled to settle in and instead Anthony Martial has ended up on the wing instead of upfront. The signing of Florenzi could benefit Depay, and if he links up well with Darmian, then fans could be in for an exciting time.
