Benfica set £20m price tag for Man Utd target

Primeira Liga giants Benfica have apparently placed a £20m asking price for Manchester United target Nemanja Matic.

The former Chelsea reject has been closely monitored by the Red Devils in recent weeks, with manager David Moyes currently scouting across Europe to find a solution to the team's fragile midfield department.


The Scot is keen on signing the Serbian playmaker, having seen Belgian International Marouane Fellaini fail to leave up to the standards he showed with Everton last season.


Matic, who was a makeweight in Chelsea's signing of David Luiz from the Portuguese outfit 2011, is currently considered as a top transfer target by the Red Devils and The Mirror reports that it would take a bid of atleast £20m for Benfica to part ways with the talented star.
