It had been previous reported that United were favourites to land the player after they reached a verbal agreement with Benfica to match the player's &pound35 escape clause.

However, according to The Times, arch-rivals City are also keen on the young playmaker, and it could come to whom Sanches wants to play for ahead of the 2016/17 season.

Sanches has featured in 21 league games for Benfica this season.
