Manchester United are keeping tabs on young Brazilian forward Douglas Coutinho, according to reports.

The Daily Mail claims that the 20-year-old's representatives are planning to travel to Europe next week to discuss the Atletico Paranaenese striker's future with a number of potential suitors.

United could face competition for the player's signature from Monaco and Atletico Madrid, who have also been contacted.

Coutinho's current deal with Paranaenese runs out in 2017. However, legal disputes have arisen regarding whether the player could leave sooner, with the cash-strapped club still paying off the cost of building the World Cup stadium in Curitiba.
