Manchester United move closer to sensational deal with talks over £60m prodigy
MANCHESTER UNITED have once again held talks with Benfica in England over teenage sensation Renato Sanches.
Van Gaal is reportedly keen to seal the deal before other clubs come in for the 18-year-old
Scouts from Old Trafford have watched the 18-year-old on multiple occasions over the last month and twice now United have met with officials from the Lisbon club to talk about a deal.
According to the Mail Online the latest round took place yesterday in London as United look to force through a deal before the end of the January transfer window.
The teenager only made his debut for the Benfica first team in October 2015 but has settled quickly and was almost immediately signed to a new five-and-a-half-year contract.
