After completing the signing of Victor Lindelof last week, Manchester United may have their eyes on another Benfica talent during this transfer window.
Anderson Talisca, who spent last season on loan at Besiktas has implied that he could be heading to Old Trafford in the near future.
Speaking to Globosport, as reported by the Mirror, he said:
I can’t talk about Manchester United. It’s not just up to me,
It’s up to Benfica, my representatives, who are dealing with the situation. Soon, they’ll have news.
I’ve had a good season, and Mourinho has a love that exists, I will not lie.
It’s a dream, something that all players want. As I said, his love is old and I like his work. He’s a great coach and I hope everything works out.
The Brazilian seems to want the transfer to United, and if a reasonable bid is made, the 23-year-old could be set for a new footballing challenge in the near future.
The player that can play in midfield or as a forward. He made 33 appearances, scored 17 goals and provided six assists whilst on loan in Turkey.
United are determined to sign a striker after the release of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the end of last season.
Mourinho’s top target is Alvaro Morata and United appear to be closing in on a deal to sign the Spanish international this summer.
