Manchester United fans have demanded of club manager Jose Mourinho to sign Bayern starlet Renato Sanches, following the youngster’s impressive performance against Chelsea on Tuesday.
Despite having struggled to find regular game time at Bayern Munich since his transfer from Benfica last summer, the Portuguese international was given a rare start in the Bavarians’ high-profile friendly fixture against Chelsea in the International Champions Cup.
The match ended in Bayern’s favour, as the Bundesliga winners defeated the English Champions 3-2. Several of Carlo Ancelotti’s men impressed against the Blues, with one such player being Renato Sanches.
The 19-year-old not only dominated the midfield, but also outperformed Chelsea’s star midfielder N’Golo Kante, who was easily one of the best players in the Premier League last season.

Following Sanches’ terrific display against the London outfit, the Red Devils’ supporters were quick to urge their manager Jose Mourinho to complete the signing of the midfield general as soon as possible.

Sanches has been linked with loan moves to AC Milan and Manchester United this summer, but the fans of the English giants are now hoping to see the Portuguese head to Old Trafford before the summer transfer window shuts down.
Here’s how the United supporters reacted on social networking website Twitter following the game:
Renato Sanchez! Watching him live is even more convincing. Super impressive for a young kid. Get him already @ManUtd !!

If we are realistically chasing Renato Sanches, then really hope its not a loan. Too young + massive potential. Loan will be a big gamble.

If Renato Sanches is available for loan then we should be all over it. #mufc
