Man Utd fans demand Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sign one player after Europa League display

Manchester United fans are calling on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to break the bank and sign Benfica wonderkid Joao Felix after his virtuoso display in the Europa League.

Felix has been linked with a summer move to Old Trafford, but the 19-year-old is being monitored by a number of top European clubs ahead of the transfer window opening.

On Thursday evening scouts across the globe had their eye on the young forward as he turned out for Benfica against Eintracht Frankfurt.

And the Portuguese prodigy didn't disappoint as he netted a hat-trick in Benfica's 4-2 victory in the quarter-final first leg in Lisbon.
