According to reports Manchester United have been heartened by news that Benfica are likely to have to sell players in the summer.

Nicolas Gaitan is believed to be on United’s wants list and it seems he may well be in the shop window come the summer.

The Mirror claims the 23 year-old Argentinean attacking midfielder is regarded as one of the continent's hottest properties.

And Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira has revealed that the club could have to cash in on their most saleable assets at the end of the season.

"The sale of players is the priority for Benfica but only if it is helping the club," said Vieira.

"Our aim is to break even and make around €50m in the summer through sales."
