Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso has stated a desire to join Manchester United.

The Portugal international is the latest Sporting starlet to be targeted by the Premier League champions.

Arsenal and Real Madrid are also tracking Veloso, who shone for Portugal's Under 21 side at the European Championship in the summer.

But the 21-year-old would favour a move to United to play with countrymen Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.

Dream

"I would like a new adventure in Europe," Veloso is quoted in the Daily Mirror.

"I would be happy to play for a big club but to play alongside Ronaldo and Nani would be my biggest dream of all."
