Man Utd, Man City learn buyout clause for Benfica keeper Ederson

Both Manchester giants are chasing Benfica goalkeeper Ederson Moraes.

Record says Manchester United and Manchester City are keen on the Brazil international this summer.

At United, Ederson is seen as a replacement for Real Madrid target David de Gea, while City boss Pep Guardiola has made personally checks on the youngster as concerns have grown over the long-term status of Claudio Bravo.
