Manchester United and Juventus are eyeing Benfica defender Ruben Dias.

The Daily Mail says Juve have conceded defeat in the race to sign Matthijs de Ligt this summer and will now turn their attention to Benfica starlet and Manchester United target Dias.

De Ligt is due to leave Ajax for Barcelona this summer.

Dias shares the same agent - Jorge Mendes - as Juventus stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Cancelo and it is hoped that negotiations will be routine.

But Juve face competition in the race to sign Dias though from United, which are also interested in Benfica teammate Joao Felix.
