Man Utd now Favorites as they Close in to Seal €30m Star Deal

Manchester United are closing on securing long term target from Benfica in the form of versatile Argentine Enzo Perez.
The Red Devils have been linked with the 28 year old Argentine since the days of former manager David Moyes but back then United were not ready to meet his asking price.
Hence, Valencia were the ones considered leading the race for his signature. However, according to latest reports, Manchester are now favorites to sign the Primeira Liga star who is rated €30m.
As per the provided link, the premier league side have lodged in a late bid for Perez to finally meet his asking price and seal his signing.
Valencia were close to completing the deal for him but delay has helped Manchester United to jump back in and may have stronger cards in their hands.
Last season, Perez featured in 28 league appearances for the Portuguese club, scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists as well.
The reason why United are keen on securing his services is because of his ability to play in numerous positions.
Mostly used as a central midfielder, Enzo Perez played as an attacking midfielder and winger more than a few times for Benfica last season.
Adding to that, Perez was the one who replaced Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria on the wings when he limped out injured against Belgium and expect him to start against Netherlands as well.
Such versatility can prove fruitful for the Red Devils next season as they are still in need of reinforcing both midfield and attack. United must do all to complete Perez signing swiftly.
