MANCHESTER UNITED have been linked with a move for Benfica striker Anderson Talisca.
And it has been reported the Red Devils have lodged a £35million bid for the star.
But O Jogo claim Jose Mourinho will face strong competition from two unnamed Chinese Super League clubs for the ace.
Those two sides are believed to have matched United’s offer.
Talisca would likely earn more money in the Far East, but if Mourinho is interested, then he will be hoping the ace will be tempted by the challenge of firing them back to the title rather than cash.
The 24-year-old has been on-loan at Turkish giants Besiktas since 2016.
The Brazil Under-23 international helped them to the title during his first season by scoring 13 times in 21 games.
He followed that up with 20 in 47 last season, including four in eight Champions League matches.

Talisca is a client of Jorges Mendes and has recently been rumoured to be a target for newly-promoted Wolves.
Roma are also believed to be keen on bringing the attacker to Italy.
