Manchester United have joined the battle to sign highly rated Brazilian midfielder Anderson Talisca, according to local media reports.

The 20-year-old has roused interest from at least seven major European clubs due to his stunning early-season form for Benfica, Xinhua quoted Brazilian news portal Lancenet as saying.

Having already been linked to Premier League clubs Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, the Brazil under-23 international impressed United scouts by scoring the winner in the Portuguese outfit's 1-0 victory over Monaco in the Champions League Tuesday.
