Manchester United closing in on the highly talented Benfica midfielder Renato Sanches.

The young midfielder was linked with a January move to Old Trafford after it was reported that Manchester United are keen to avoid a bidding war in the summer.

The 18-year-old midfield sensation has a release clause of £60m but Manchester United are confident of signing him for less. Back in January, Manchester United held talks with the Benfica representatives to discuss the transfer.

According to Daily Star, Manchester United have already reached a gentleman’s agreement for the midfielder and will complete a deal in the summer.

Renato Sanches has fuelled further speculations after deciding to follow Manchester United’s official account on Instagram.

According to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, Sanches was overwhelmed by the reaction of Manchester United fans who were urging him to join the club.
