Sunday's A Bola claims Manchester United have set aside 50 million euros for Sanches who they have watched on a regular basis this season.

Manchester United scouts were again present to watch Renato Sanches play 90 minutes as Benfica crushed Braga 5-1 on Friday night.

AC Milan, Arsenal, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid were also present but you suspect United have the name and financial clout to beat off all those clubs if it came to a battle for Sanches.
