More Ronaldo or Nani? Or Bebé?

Reports in Portugal are suggesting that Manchester United and Benfica have come to an agreement over the signature of Renato Sanches. The 18-year-old midfielder is one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe and it is said that both clubs have reached a non-formal "gentleman's agreement" over the player. Record, a newspaper in Portugal, claim that an agreed fee has not yet been reached but that they expect United to fork out in excess of €40m (£31m) for Sanches. https://twitter.com/PortuBall/status/702407138921025536 The signing of Anthony Martial and the money it required in the summer once raised an eyebrow around Old Trafford but the Frenchman has since turned out to be an absolute find by Louis van Gaal and one of the odd bright sparks in an otherwise dull season. https://twitter.com/PortuBall/status/702408408520126464 If United are to get their man though, they should be willing to open the cheque book. https://twitter.com/PortuBall/status/702409948064571392 Here he is setting up a goal last week. https://twitter.com/PortuBall/status/698251062562701312
