Manchester United is reportedly making Benfica’s young defender Antonio Silva a top transfer target, according to Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg.

The 20-year-old is part of a duo from the Portuguese Superliga club that has caught the Red Devils’ attention, with Joao Neves also being closely monitored.

The Premier League giants are hopeful of securing a deal for at least one of these promising talents in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Silva, in particular, has emerged as a sought-after player across Europe, thanks to his string of impressive performances, notably in the Champions League.

His rise to prominence has placed him on the wishlist of several leading European clubs, but Manchester United seems particularly keen on bringing the young defender to Old Trafford.
