Manchester City and Manchester United would be signing the next Kaka if they can lure Joao Felix from Benfica.

That is according to Portuguese manager Carlos Carvalhal.

The 19-year-old's exploits for Benfica this season has seen him compared with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, but Carvalhal believes Felix resembles Brazil legend Kaka.

"His characteristics are more near Kaka in my opinion, the way he drives the ball, connects play and his goals," Carvalhal, who also managed Swansea, told BBC Sport.

"Bernardo Silva is one of the best players in the world at this moment. But at 19, he did not show the talent that Felix is showing in this moment at 19 - so imagine what kind of player we are talking about."
