They need more control in the middle of the park and the 21-year-old is a hard-working player who can also help defensively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">West Ham United are fighting for survival in the Premier League and need to be safe there to keep their best players at the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, the Portuguese midfielder wants to compete at a higher level and the opportunity to play for Manchester United could be exciting for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Clubs such as PSG are also monitoring his situation, but Manchester United are prepared to move quickly to stay ahead of their rivals in the transfer race. Manchester United&#8217;s Director of Football Jason Wilcox is prepared to ramp up efforts to sign the 21-year-old in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Want more catchoffside coverage?
