Manchester United have been linked with a move for highly rated Benfica star Renato Sanches in the summer transfer window. Now, even Arsenal are interested in signing the young Portuguese midfielder.
According to Daily Mail, scouts from the Red Devils were present to monitor the Primeira Liga star last Saturday but they were not alone as Arsenal scouts were present there as well.
As per the provided Daily Mail link, the 18-year-old star who has a release clause of 60 million pounds is hopeful of joining Manchester United. Hence, it will be fair to say that Arsenal should really focus on signing Granit Xhaka instead.
Renato Sanches has already featured in 40 games for the club this season and has firmly established his starting place in the side. He has scored 6 goals and provided 1 assists (Transfermarkt).
The dynamic youngster can play as a defensive midfielder, a creative central midfielder and also as an attacking midfielder.
As reported by Portuguese media outlet Multidesportos earlier in the month, Sanches has already agreed a preliminary contract to join the Old Trafford club in the summer.
United have spent cash on signing midfielders like Herrera, Schweni and Schneiderlin, still they need more reinforcements in the department and Sanches can be the one to finally solve the midfield dilemma.
