When a footballer is starting Champions League knockout matches at the age of 18, he's probably got something about him.

That's certainly the case with Renato Sanches, the young Benfica midfielder who is reportedly being watched by Manchester United. The teenager, who only made his first-team debut in October, started both legs against Zenit St Petersburg and helped his club progress to the last eight with a come-from-behind win.

He's already started making a good impression with some of those watching the early kickoff
