MANCHESTER UNITED are doing all they can to bring in fresh talent in January.

| Ruben Neves and Cristian Tello have both been linked with moves to the Premier League |
The Red Devils sit sixth in the Premier League table at the half-way stage of the season and Louis van Gaal will be looking to add some attacking reinforcements to his side when the transfer window opens.
And in their hunt to persuade the next batch of youngsters to complete a move to Old Trafford, the Manchester club have been scouting in Portugal.
According to Portuguese publication A Bola, United sent scouts to watch Porto in their 3-1 defeat to Maritimo.
Although not clear which players they were taking notes on, several of Porto's stars have been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months that could see United prepare to hijack a move from their closest rivals.
The German boss reportedly told Liverpool chiefs last month to push through a deal for the Spaniard by opening talks with Barcelona over a proposed move.
The 18-year-old has been scouted by several Premier League clubs but Porto are keen to keep hold of their promising starlet.
If United scouts did plan to see the midfielder in action, they chose the wrong game; as Neves was an unused substitute in their disappointing defeat.
Neves made history in October by becoming the youngest Champions League captain ever in their 2-0 defeat by Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
