Manchester United are considering a sensational move for Brazilian forward Richarlison, according to reports.

The youngster has been regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the Samba nation due to his sheer brilliance and promising skills that has got pundits talking about him in the South American nation.

Richarlison has been an impressive figure for his side, Fluminese this season, netting six goals and three assists in 15 appearances while playing as a central man or on the flanks.

Reports in Italian outlet Calciomercato claim that Manchester United are monitoring the progress of Richarlison and are planing on luring him to the Old Trafford after sending scouts to watch on several occasions in the last few months.

However, United will face competition from Italian giants, AC Milan who have also been credited with an interest in the Brazilian youngster.

It is understood that Fluminese are holding out for a fee around £18m for one of the brightest youngsters at the moment but what remains yet to be known is whether Manchester United are going to pay that kind of price for Richarlson following Mourinho’s claims that he will not be forced to pay over-inflated price on his transfer targets this summer while slamming the crazy asking price slapped on players by club in the current transfer window.
