DEAL ON? Benfica president jets to England for Man Utd Goncalo Guedes meeting

Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira is due in Manchester today.

Record says Vieira and super agent Jorge Mendes will fly to England to meet with Manchester United officials over a deal for Goncalo Guedes.

Mendes represents Guedes and while Monaco and PSG are keen, United are set for a round of face-to-face negotiations today.

Vieira hopes to sell Guedes for €30 million. The youngster was left on the bench for the clash with Tondela.

Asked about his young star, coach Rui Vitoria stated: "I have no indication that Gonçalo will leave at this time.

"The president knows what he does, relative to Gonçalo or any other player."

United are expected to sign the youngster as a replacement for Memphis Depay, who made a winning debut against Marseille yesterday.
