Man Utd keeping tabs on Portuguese playmaker

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Porto attacker Fabio Vieira ahead of a possible summer approach, Record claims.

The Red Devils are likely to bolster their attack this summer. The focus could lie on pursuing young players with potential.

According to Record, the Mancunian giants have a keen interest in Vieira, and were keeping tabs on him earlier this week.

Vieira scored a brace in the 3-0 win over Santa Clara. He has now bagged seven goals and 13 assists from 33 appearances this term.

Porto are not looking to sell him this summer, but their resolve could be tested if they receive a significant transfer package.

The midfielder has a release clause worth €50m on his contract, and United may need to pay something close to that figure.

Aside from the Red Devils, Liverpool are also key admirers of the 21-year-old, who can play anywhere across the attack.

He prefers to operate from the number 10 position, but has also been successful from the second striker and right wing roles.
