City, United to scout Joao Felix at Nations League?

Manchester City and Manchester United reportedly remain embroiled in a transfer tug of war for Benfica teenager Joao Felix.

Both sides have been strongly linked with the 19-year-old, as have Spanish giants Real Madrid, but the Primeira Liga side are after more than £100m.

Despite his nine-figure valuation, The Mirror suggests that City and United remain serious about their interest and they will once again watch the youngster up close this week.

The Manchester duo are said to have sent scouts to Portugal ready to watch the Selecao's UEFA Nations League semi-final against Switzerland on Wednesday.

Felix, who has not yet been capped at senior international level, ended the 2017-18 campaign with 18 goals in 33 games for Benfica.
