The Red Devils have made a right-sided winger a priority this summer and 21-year-old Neto is now perceived as a more viable option compared to Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho.
Pedro Neto has been in impressive form this season and would be half the cost of England international Sancho whom the red devils have long sought after.
Manchester City are also said to be interested in the foward, though they appear to be prioritising Aston Villa talisman Jack Grealish instead.
As well as Portugal international Neto, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are also believed to be interested in Leeds United winger Raphinha and Sporting Lisbon’s Pedro Goncalves.
