MANCHESTER UNITED will dispatch scouts to watch Bernardo Silva, Andre Gomes and Renato Sanches.
Manchester United have made Renato Sanches a top target
United are stepping up their summer plans with several players expected to leave this summer, including Morgan Schneiderlin, Michael Carrick and Memphis Depay.
The Red Devils have been following Sanches extensively for the past few months and he has a release clause of £62million.
Sanches fuelled speculation of a move to Old Trafford when he started following United on Instagram.
And according to the Daily Mirror, United will send scouts to run the rule over Sanches, Gomes and Silva who are all expected to start for Portugal in their friendly against Belgium on Tuesday (7:45pm).
The three midfielders are all clients of super agents Jorge Mendes, who has brokered some big deals in the past.
