Arsenal and Man Utd send scouts to watch Porto midfielder Danilo

Arsenal and Manchester United have both sent scouts to watch Porto midfielder Danilo Pereira, according to The Sun.

With eyes on him from the stands, the centre-midfielder scored in his side's 3-2 victory over Portimonense.

The 26-year-old was apart of the Portugal squad that claimed the Euro 2016 trophy, which included starting in the semi-final victory over Wales.

At 6'2, Danilo has long been a target of Arsene Wenger, who has been searching for a physically dominant holding midfielder since Patrick Vieira left the club.

United boss Jose Mourinho reportedly keeps an interest in players from his former club.

Qatari-backed Paris Saint Germain have also been eyeing in the former Maritimo man.
