Manchester United are ready to test Liverpool’s interest in Braga midfielder Rafa Silva, according to A Bola.
The 21-year-old midfielder has been in superb form this season and has attracted a number of top European clubs, whilst he has also broke into the Portuguese national side, making his debut against Cameroon last year, before being named in the 23-man squad for the World Cup last summer.
Liverpool and Everton have keen interest and newspaper O Jogo claimed in January that both have sounded out a £7.5m summer move.
However, A Bola have now reported that United officials have been watching closely and are keen to sign him this coming summer.
Reports have claimed that Silva has a £19m buyout clause written into his contract, but the club are yet to confirm if that is correct.
Silva has scored two and assisted three goals in his 20 appearances this season.
