Manchester United have been handed boost in their pursuit of Bayern Munchen midfielder Renato Sanchez.
The Red Devils have been on the trail of the Portuguese since last summer before he chose to join the German giants instead.
Jose Mourinho has come out publicly to declare his interest in the midfielder, and even confirmed reports that United tried to sign him before his move to the Bundesliga.
However, Sanchez has cut a frustrated figure at the Allianz Arena due to lack of action, making only few appearances under Carlo Ancelotti last season.
The midfielder has been tipped to move away from Bayern this summer in order to get first team action elsewhere with Manchester United being one of his likeliest destination.
United have been given a major boost in their pursuit of the 19-year-old after Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed the player is free to move if any club pay his €48 million valuation
