The 22-year-old Italian midfielder  joined the Old Trafford club in 2008 from Serie A side Roma, however has found first-team action hard to come by.

Petrucci has made no appearances for the United first-team and has spent most of his time shipped out on-loan an array of different clubs.

Petrucci has had experience of playing in the Football League, as he made four appearances for Peterborough United in 2013 in a loan move, and then made five appearances for Charlton Athletic last season.

Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough is wanting to add some more depth to his side before the start of the new season, and is targeting a season-long move for the underused Manchester United midfielder.
