Lazaar has been frozen out at United this season with head coach Steve Bruce leaving the player out of his 25-man Premier League squad.

As a result Lazaar, currently training with the first team, travelled to Italy in order to secure his United exit.

And, according to journalist Nicolo Schira, the Serie A outfit could make a move for the Moroccan before September 2.
