Multiple reliable news outlets have reported that the race to sign Danilo Dos Santos De Oliveira is heating up, as reports indicate that Man Utd have now officially submitted a bid for the player as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the run-in. Talks are expected to continue over the coming days - with Botafogo said to be reluctant to let him go for a penny less than their valuation. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Man Utd appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. So far this season, Man Utd are steady at both ends (1.75 goals scored per game, 1.33 goals conceded per game). The role for Danilo Dos Santos De Oliveira would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Reports suggest Man Utd are monitoring Josh Acheampong, Andre Onana and Christos Tzolis whereas Botafogo have not been associated with other players at this stage.
