Manchester United are sudden favourites for Valencia fullback Joao Cancelo.

Marca says United will beat Barcelona to the signing of Valencia defender Cancelo.

They claim the Portugal international is on Jose Mourinho's radar as the Old Trafford boss looks to strengthen his options at full-back.

Everton defender Seamus Coleman was linked to United yesterday, but Cancelo - who is represented by Jorge Mendes, the same agent as Mourinho - is reportedly the preferred target.
