Joao Felix will give Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen a run for their money if he signs for Manchester United. That's because the 22-year-old Atletico Madrid star - who recently emerged as a target for the Red Devils - sees his best position as a No.10, also Fernandes and Eriksen's preferred place in the team.
Felix has reportedly been the subject of a mega transfer bid from United worth £110million, which Atletico have already rejected.
If Erik ten Hag eventually gets his man, however, then Felix wants to operate behind the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial as a striker. "My best position is as the second forward," the Portuguese prodigy told the Athletic earlier this year. “Playing like a No.
10, with a guy in front of me." Felix's arrival would add competition to the ongoing battle between Fernandes and Eriksen for the sole No.10 spot in Ten Hag's system.
