He received his first national team call-up in October this year and made his international debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina in an international friendly.Erik ten Hag is on the lookout for a quality midfield option after missing several key United players due to injury, including Casemiro, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-red-devils-casemiro-injury-timeline/blt55db7823a511533d" target="_blank">who has been ruled out with a thigh injury until January.</a>

WHAT BERNARDO SILVA SAID

For now, the teenager remains committed to Benfica and will be next seen in action for the Portuguese giants as they next take on Famalicao in a Liga Portugal clash on Saturday. Manchester United, meanwhile, will be back on Premier League duty against Everton a day later.
