He was an Italian U19 at the age of 16 and was their top scorer in the qualification for the recent youth World Cup. His record is close to 18 goals in 29 games. For Manchester United he has scored 4 senior gaols from just 5 starts, and for the reserves team he has managed 24 goals in 20 games so far this season, making him the top scorer in the country. But despite this, the Italian FA and the Italian youth coach have completely ignored him since he left Italy, which is a real shame. But it will be them that miss out if they don't use him in the future. Rossi was the Italian U17 captain.

He is still young, he needs to work his way into the Man U first team and then he can consider a move to Serie A and a callup to the national setup. It is stupid that the Italian FA dropped Rossi from the U19 team, but really he should be playing for Italy's U21 team, he is without question good enough. If you want to start making comparisons, I would consider Rossi as the next Francesco Totti if he chose to play for the US he would be making a MAJOR MISTAKE.

It is the same situation Adu faced with Ghana wooing him. Go for the immediate reward or wait your turn till 2010.
