LISBON, Sep 21 (SW) - Manchester United are reportedly interested in several young Sporting Lisbon players, and sent a scout to watch the Portuguese team's match with Pacos de Ferreira last week.

Media reports have that the Red Devils particularly focus on four players: Defender Miguel Veloso (20), midfielder Joao Moutinho (20), winger Nani (19) and striker Djalo (20).

The four all came from Sporting's youth system, with which Manchester United have good experiences: Winger Cristiano Ronaldo also came from Sporting's youth.

Other European giants as Chelsea and Barcelona are said to be interested as well.
