Manchester United agree deal for Benfica star Renato Sanches - Report

Manchester United are really close to  agreeing a deal to bring the Benfica midfielder to Old Trafford.

The player has been a United target since making his breakthrough into the Benfica first team this season.

United have sent scouts on various occasions to see the player in Portugal and a deal may soon be reached.

According to Sky Sports reporter in Italy Gianluca Di Marzio, the player is close to  an Old Trafford switch for a €60M to be paid in four years.

The player shares the same agent as almost to be United manager José Mourinho which would make the move easier.

The player over the weekend suffered racist abuse in Benfica's 1-0 win against Rio Ave’s over the weekend.
