Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly met with super agent Jorge Mendes, who has a long list of clients, including Benfica duo Antonio Silva and Joao Neves
United could end the season by winning the FA Cup but will hope to significantly improve their league form after falling well short of the Champions League places. It will be the first full season since the Ineos Group began overseeing footballing operations and United have already begun revamping their recruitment strategy.
His contract is scheduled to run until 2027 but is reported to include a €100million release clause. The 21-year-old was signed from Estoril last summer, agreeing a contract until 2028, but has quickly excelled in Ligue 1. Like Yoro, Santos has yet to earn a senior cap at international level and could prove to be a bargain for United, who may be tempted to freshen up their options at right-back.
Following speculation over Silva moving to United during the January window, Benfica responded with a club statement: “Under no circumstances has Sport Lisboa e Benfica entered into talks with Manchester United or any other club about this player from its youth academy - nor does it intend to do so - so any information to the contrary is false.”
