Manchester United are reportedly considering making a move for Internacional forward Ricardo Mathias.
The 19-year-old has scored five times in 18 appearances for his Brazilian side, while he has found the back of the net once on two appearances for Brazil Under-20s.
A number of clubs are believed to be admirers of Mathias, and according to the Daily Mail, Man United are among them, with the Red Devils said to have been impressed by his form at first-team level.
The report claims that the 20-time English champions had scouts in attendance for International's 1-1 draw with Fluminense in the Copa do Brasil, with the teenager coming off the bench.
Sources in Brazil have said that Mathias has 'superstar' potential, while his release clause is believed to be £56m.

Man United 'eyeing move' for Brazil youngster Mathias
Man United are not thought to be considering moving for the teenager this summer and are instead keeping a close eye on his development with a view to a move in the future.
Their stance could change if Internacional receive an offer, with Man United allegedly being kept informed when it comes to any developments surrounding the Brazilian.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has changed Man United's transfer policy since his arrival as the club's minority shareholder, with outstanding young talents being targeted.
Chido Obi and Ayden Heaven are recent examples of the club using that tactic to bring in youngsters with high potential, while Diego Leon has also made a big impression in pre-season following his arrival from Cerro Porteno.

Who will be Man United's forward options in 2025-26?
Man United have brought Benjamin Sesko to the club from RB Leipzig, with the Slovenia international set to be the club's starting striker during the 2025-26 campaign.
Rasmus Hojlund is keen to stay but is expected to move on in the near future, which would mean that Joshua Zirkzee is the back-up centre-forward for the 20-time English champions.
There have been suggestions that Chido Obi could be loaned out this summer, but the 17-year-old is expected to remain at Old Trafford and provide another option in the final third of the field.
