Benfica's World Cup winning star Enzo Fernandez is the subject of a transfer tug of war.

The Argentine youngster is in hot demand as the January transfer window nears.

The likes of Manchester United and Liverpool want to sign Fernandez, after the 21-year-old impressed in Qatar.

Brazilian media outlet UOL Esporte states that United have taken the lead in the race for his signature.

The source states that United are even willing to pay the player's buyout clause, which is £106 million.

Liverpool are also very keen on Fernandez, but such a sum may be beyond them.
