Manchester United are reportedly keen on pursuing of Monaco midfielder Bernardo Silva at the end of the campaign. The Portugal international has evolved as a key figure for the Principality outfit this season.

Silva, 22, has notched four goals and four assists for Monaco this season, and this has helped the side clinch the top spot on goal difference to Nice.

The young midfielder joined the Ligue 1 side from Benfica on an initial loan in 2014 before the move was made permanent a year later.

Silva, who shares the same agent as Jose Mourinho - Jorge Mendes, is valued at around £70m. He has earned 10 caps with the Portugal national team till date.
