Manchester United are favourites to sign Bernardo Silva.
According to a report in The Sun, the Monaco star is the subject of advanced talks from Manchester United despite competition from Chelsea.
The Jose Mourinho factor gives United a big advantage as they attempt to convince the 22-year-old to move to Old Trafford.
Mourinho has been a big fan of Silva since before this season where his displays in the Champions League have sent his value soaring.
United will have to come up with a bid of at least £50m with Monaco keen to keep their focus on the Champions League clashes with Juventus.
Mourinho wants to have Silva as a key part of his new look strike force as he attempts to win over fans with a more attacking outlook that isn’t dependent on the goals of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
A number of big money signings are being lined up with the emphasis very much on finding goalscorers.
