Report: Manchester United monitoring Lionel Messi

Manchester United could reportedly make a summer move for Barcelona forward Lionel Messi.

The Argentine has scored 39 times in 42 games this season, but has drawn criticism for a perceived laziness in certain matches.

The 26-year-old's body language on the pitch has also suggested that the attacker is no longer content with life at the Camp Nou.

According to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague, United are monitoring developments and could make their move at the end of the season.

The Premier League champions sacked David Moyes as head coach earlier this morning.
