Benfica starlet Joao Felix has been in fantastic form so far this season, earning himself a place in Portugal's latest squad.

The winger, considered by many to be the "new Ronaldo", is reportedly a transfer target for the Red Devils, but the 19-year-old has now insisted he would like to play in Spain instead.

"I am not thinking about my future – I only have thoughts for Benfica and helping my club to the league title," he told Marca.

"I cannot think of what everyone is saying around us.

"My dream has always been to play for the biggest clubs in Europe.

"Spain or England? I would prefer to play in Spain."
