One downside for Manchester United in their mammoth summer deal for Anthony Martial is that selling clubs now know the Red Devils are sitting on huge cash reserves which can be released in desperation. Benfica may be the latest side to try their luck, with the Mail reporting the Portuguese side have slapped a £60 million price tag on Renato Sanches with the clubs "negotiating hard" in London on Friday.
United have reportedly watched the 18-year-old midfielder three times recently and believe they can secure a deal worth £30m plus add-ons to avoid a summer auction -- this of course totally contradicts yesterday's rumours that United have put big deals on hold due to doubts over Louis van Gaal's future. As if that wasn't enough, Gazzetta World reports that United made a "proper offer" for Barcelona's Neymar earlier this month and are ready to break any transfer and wage records to beat Manchester City to the Brazil captain. Phew.
