According to reports, Man Utd is plotting a move for Benfica defensive prospect Antonio Silva. The 18-year-old has been impressing for Benfica this season and is said to have caught the eye of the Red Devils. If United were to make a move for Silva, it would likely be an immediate buy, but they would likely have to challenge Real Madrid's bid for the defender.
Antonio Silva is a defender who currently plays for Benfica. He is a right-footed center-back who is comfortable playing on the ball and is known for his composure under pressure. Silva has been a regular starter for Benfica this season, making 8 appearances in all competitions. He has also featured twice for the youth side in the second division

The young defender has attracted attention from several top European clubs, including the Red Devils and Real Madrid. Silva is contracted to Benfica until 2027 and even though his first release clause was 13 million euros, his current valuation is around 100 million euros. It seems European clubs will forever be affected by Neymar's move to Paris Saint Germain.
According to reports, Man Utd is plotting a move for Benfica's defensive prospect after impressing the Portuguese side this season, but more now that he proved how useful he could be against great attacking power. He was a starter during the Champions League game against PSG, where the French monarchs couldn't get away with the victory and tied for the first time in this season of the UCL.
Also with United's defense struggling for form and consistency this season, Silva could be seen as a potential long-term solution at the back. And also as a good successor for either Raphael Varane or Lissando Martínez. However, it remains to be seen whether Benfica would be willing to sell one of their most promising youngsters for now, but maybe he is a Red Devil in the making.
