Yet another exciting young defender targeted by Manchester United, Eder Militao only joined Porto last summer from boyhood club Sao Paulo on a five-year contract.

The 21-year-old has already established himself as the first choice in Portugal, starting 16 matches for table toppers Porto.

Much like Milenkovic, Militao is a versatile player capable of playing anywhere across the back line or as a defensive midfielder. He primarily played as a right back for Sao Paulo, but currently plays as a centre back for Porto.

The Brazilian is known for his pace, aerial strength, aggressiveness, and he's comfortable on the ball.

Several clubs are reportedly scouting him - Real Madrid, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.

According to reports in Portugal, an eye-watering sum of €75m has been quoted, which is probably why there was no attempt to sign him in January.

If he can keep up his form though, clubs might be willing to meet Porto's demand.
