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.
