Manchester United are monitoring Como attacker Nico Paz for a possible summer transfer, according to The Sun. The reported interest comes as United look for an attacking midfielder amid questions over Bruno Fernandes' future.

Paz, 22, has contributed six goals and eight assists across 14 matches in all competitions this season. His Champions League record includes three goals and five assists from four outings. Two of those goals, along with one assist, came against United as Como won 4-1.

Como signed the Argentina international from Real Madrid in the summer of 2024. He has since made 89 appearances for Cesc Fabregas' team, recording 25 goals and 25 assists. His contract runs until the summer of 2028, although Madrid have an option to bring him back for £67 million next summer.

Paz is believed to have declined a return to Madrid after the 2025-26 season because of concerns about playing time. He previously made eight senior appearances for the Spanish club and scored once. Primarily a central attacking midfielder, he can also operate from the right or as a false nine.
