Report: Manchester United scouting Gremio ace Everton

Manchester United have sent scouts to keep tabs on Gremio forward Everton, according to a report.

The 22-year-old leads the scoring charts for the Brazilian side this season, netting nine times in 20 league starts.

Everton, who can also play on the right or through the middle, is rumoured to be valued at around the £30m mark by Gremio.

A report in The Sun suggests that the Red Devils will run the rule over the speedy attacker before deciding whether to make a formal approach.

United's arch-rivals Manchester City have also been touted as a possible future club for Everton.
