Manchester United have once again scouted Benfica, this time in the Eagles’ Europa League clash against Galatasaray.
Newspapers Record and O Jogo both report the scouting mission, although they don’t point out who the Red Devils were watching.
Manchester United have been linked to several Benfica players in the past couple of years, but things have gone quiet lately, with youngster João Félix being the only one being strongly involved in the rumours.
The 19-year-old had a reasonable performance, being praised for the chances he created, but his impact wasn’t good enough to make a difference in the goalless draw.
This latest trip will now doubt add further weight to the rumours.
Alex Grimaldo and Pizzi were those who stood out for the home side, but not enough to find a goal.
Other clubs who sent scouts to this match were Juventus, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Everton, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Milan, Sevilla, Arsenal and Real Valladolid.
