Manchester United are active this week during the local U17 international tournament.
The Daily Mail says United scouts were among those at Alfreton Town on Wednesday as Portugal U17s played Italy U17s.
There wasn't much to shout about in a 0-0 draw but Portugal captain Moreto Cassama, a right-footed midfielder from Porto, caught they eye with some good touches and movement.
Portugal also have young Arsenal prospect Jonatas Centeno in their squad. They play England U17s on Friday at Chesterfield.
