Manchester United are watching Flamengo midfielder Joao Gomes.

Coluna do Fla says United are watching Rio de Janeiro-born Gomes.

It's claimed that Manchester United are willing to pay £32m for the 21-year-old midfielder.

It's also suggested that United ace Andreas Pereira, who is currently on loan at Flamengo, could be used as part of negotiations.

Flamengo have an option to buy Pereira which is expected to be completed soon - but United could offer him for free in exchange for a knocked-down fee for Gomes.
