#2 Joao Felix urged to join Manchester United ahead of City

Benfica v Eintracht Frankfurt - UEFA Europa League Quarter Final : First Leg

Joao Felix should join Manchester United instead of Manchester City, according to former Tottenham Striker Darren Bent, The Express reports. The Portuguese is one of the hottest properties in world football at the moment and both Manchester clubs, along with Real Madrid, are battling it out for the signature of the 19 year old. All three clubs are apparently willing to meet his release clause, which makes matters pretty interesting. However, Bent feels that Felix would be better of joining United, for one simple reason.

If he wants to go and play football sooner rather than later, go to Manchester United.

If they’re going to start rebuilding, they just signed Dan James, if they go and sign Felix as well he’s going to play. They’re going to sign him to play.

If you go to Manchester City now they’re pretty much set. All of their players are quite young as well.

The only thing you might think is if [Leroy] Sane goes to Bayern Munich, that frees up a little slot there and maybe he can slot in there.

But for me right now it’s where he sees himself. If he wants to hit the ground running right now in this kind of development stage, maybe Manchester United might suit him as we stand right now.

Felix is expected to make a decision on his future after the final of the Nations League.
