As certain Manchester United fans will tell you, if Gianluca Di Marzio tells you something is happening, it’s bloody well happening.
The Italian journalist was a regular go-to source of information for those United fans seeking Paul Pogba updates ahead of his return to Old Trafford from Juventus a year ago.
Now, according to Di Marzio, United are taking another of the Italian champions’ prized assets.
Javier Ribalta, the man that has been in charge of scouting at Juve for the last five years, is heading to United.
A brief statement on the Juventus website confirmed Ribalta’s departure, adding that he would be taking on ‘a new professional adventure elsewhere’.

It remains to be seen what his official title will be, or if he will be involved in transfers along with executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward.
