Top Jose Mourinho target 'prepared' for move but Manchester United told to pay £63m
RENATO SANCHES is edging ever closer to a summer move to Manchester United, according to reports.
Sanches could be heading to Old Trafford this summer
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a stellar rise to fame having been playing in Portugal's second tier at the beginning of the current campaign.
However, Sanches was promoted to the Benfica first team and handed his senior debut at the end of October.
The Lisbon-born midfielder has been an integral part of the team ever since with 23 appearances in the Primeira Liga.
Express Sport understands Jose Mourinho is on the brink of sealing a deal to replace Louis van Gaal this summer.
The Portuguese manager is said to be a big fan of Sanches and the two share the same agent - Jorge Mendes - which could prove to be the factor which greases the wheels of any potential transfer.
