Man Utd, AC Milan target Anselmino likened to Samuel

Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino has been likened to former Inter Milan hero Walter Samuel.

AC Milan and Manchester United are among clubs having made enquiries after the youngster.

Agent Filippo Colasanto told MilanNews: "He is very strong, a giant. Natural right-footed player and a player who impressed me for one thing: he plays the ball with a tranquility and certainty of success of the play that makes him look like a veteran.

"And doing it in a context like that of the Bombonera is a guarantee. Of course, bringing him to Italy means making him play in a different context.

"From what I've seen I say that he has the physicality of a Walter Samuel, his heading and his sense of position. I've heard comparisons with De Ligt but Anselmino is less placed than the Dutchman and, I won't say more elegant than him but still with a very good foot with a good physique."
