Manchester United are pondering a £22million offer for Benfica's Renato Sanches.

The Red Devils have been watching the 18-year-old attacking midfielder for much of the season and according to the Daily Mirror, are ready to make a bid.

United officials have met with Benfica to discuss the possibility of a deal but as yet, have not lodged a formal offer for his services, but that could change on Monday.

It has been reported that the Portugal U21 international has a release clause of £60m but United are hoping to do a deal for much less for a player who is under contract at Estadio da Luz until the summer of 2021.
