Manchester United, Barcelona 'in race for Benfica starlet Ronaldo Camara'

Manchester United are reportedly ready to battle Barcelona for the signature of 15-year-old Benfica starlet Ronaldo Camara.

Camara is yet to make an appearance for Benfica's senior team, but his performances at youth level have attracted the interest of some of Europe's top clubs.

Manchester City and Chelsea are also understood to be monitoring his progress, but Portuguese outlet Record reports that United and Barcelona are currently leading the race to sign him.

Camara has already been called up to Portugal's Under-17 side, winning his debut at the age of just 14, and also played in the Under-19 UEFA Youth League competition last month.

The attacking midfielder impressed during the ALKASS International Cup in Qatar earlier this year, having joined Benfica's academy from Sporting Lisbon in 2015.
