Man Utd news: Agent confirms talks with 16-year-old Portuguese star Umaro Embalo

MANCHESTER UNITED have held talks with Portuguese youngster Umaro Embalo, according to his agent.
United were reported to have agreed a deal for the Benfica youngster last week.

And while his agent says that is not quit the case he admits talks have been held.

Speaking to A Bola he said: “Nothing is done, and the conversation, nobody communicated anything to me, nor to the parents.

“He has interest from several clubs, because he is an asset of Benfica and has gone down this route well.
“I can say that all the great clubs in Europe have already asked for information about Umaro, from Germany, England, Spain, France.




“If he’s going to Manchester is something that I don’t know at all, but it’s true that we have already met with Benfica and Manchester, there is no agreement, but there are conversations.”

Manchester United have been looking to snap up the best young talent as they try and bolster their academy.
And Embalo, 16, could be the next player through the door.

Jose Mourinho recently brought Scott McTominay into the side for the Champions League tie with Benfica, but still has a poor record bringing kids through.

Embalo has been likened to Angel di Maria and has scored five goals in 12 appearances for Benfica already.

United’s chief scout Javier Ribalta and head of development John Murtagh have been monitoring his progress and watched him against Untied in the UEFA Youth League last month.
