Just by the way that he moves you can tell that this guy is something special.
And it’s also hard to believe that Manchester United’s reported target Renato Sanches is still a teenager.
Because he traverses the pitch with such authority and speed that he looks every bit the seasoned international already.
Manchester United have this week been linked with a move for the player by several media outlets, including The Independent, who say:
Renato Sanches to Manchester United: Benfica wonderkid would add style, substance – and goals
Louis van Gaal is close to bidding for the teenager, whose spectacular goal on his debut underlined his quality
If it were up to us Manchester United would simply stockpile forwards from this point onwards. They have so many solid water carriers but they need a liberal sprinkle of fairy dust to unlock those ever-tightening Premier League defences and the likes of Schalke’s Leroy Sane and Sanches would be ideal and gettable in the short-term.
Sanches has broken into the Benfica first team this season with 11 appearances and 2 goals, including an absolute dream weaver of an effort against Academica recently.
He really does look like a young CR7 in playing style and we think that he would be a wonderful winter signing.
Let’s have a look at him in action, including that incredible goal in the Portuguese league.
Manchester United fans: worth a nibble?
