LVG ready to save Man Utd season, club officials sent for winger

Manchester United have sent a transfer delegation to Portugal to run the rule over Benfica winger Goncalo Guedes.

According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola (via Sportwitness), Manchester United officials attended Saturday’s meeting between Benfica and Vitoria Guimarães.

The 19-year-old winger is highly rated in Portugal and has attracted a lot of interest from several European heavyweights.

The Premier League giants have been monitoring the talented winger for a while now and the Portuguese media seem to think that Manchester United could make a move for him soon.

The poor form of Juan Mata, Ashley Young and Memphis Depay has forced Louis Van Gaal to dip into the market for a goalscoring winger and it seems Guedes is his prime target at the moment.
