Premier League giants Manchester United has been identified as another club to join the race to sign SC Benfica teenage wonder Joao Felix.
The side which is currently managed by club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are considering a possible move for the hot prospect according to reports in Portugal (via The Mirror).
Portuguese newspaper Record suggests that the Manchester United scouts are currently compiling scout reports on the 19-year-old before launching a formal bid.
Earlier this January, United's rivals Liverpool have reportedly made a spectacular £60million bid for the midfield sensation, but the Portuguese runners-up last season rejected the offer.
The rejection seemed to not affect the number of interests on Felix as European giants namely Barcelona and Manchester City still persist in pursuing Felix - who may well be Europe's hottest property right now.
Liverpool still seem intent to come back with a much-improved offer while the Red Devils are certainly going to prepare a big one right now.
Joao Felix have recently just signed a new five-year deal in 2018 with his current club and a £105million buyout clause is reportedly also inserted in it.
