Manchester United are interested in signing Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes in the January transfer window.
The 20-year-old is one of a number of players they are looking at ahead of the January transfer window.
He hasn’t featured in Benfica’s last seven games and is thought to have fallen out with Head Coach Bruno Lage.
Representatives of the Portugal international have been in the UK attempting to broker a loan deal with a £34m option to buy with interested parties. His release clause is £102m – but Benfica have conceded they won’t get that kind of money for an out of favour player.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said they will only go into the market if the right player to fit the long term strategy of the club becomes available.
