Man Utd target Felix says girls are sending him ‘naked photos’ now he’s a star at Benfica
While the youngster is getting used to scouts watching him perform, he also revealed a different side to being thrust into the limelight
MANCHESTER UNITED target Joao Felix has revealed his new-found fame means girls are inundating him with saucy photos.
The Portuguese sensation stole the headlines last week after becoming the youngest player in Europa League history to score a hat-trick in Benfica's 4-2 win over Frankfurt.
His remarkable form throughout the campaign has seen top clubs across Europe declare their interest in a summer switch.
And while the 19-year-old is getting used to scouts watching him perform, he also revealed a different side to being thrust into the limelight.
Speaking to Portuguese presenter Rui Maria Pego, he beamed: "The success helped me a lot with the girls. On social media they often send me photos, even naked."
When asked whether it will encourage him to find a new girlfriend, the striker admitted he's happy to enjoy single life.
He added: "I don't think of finding a girlfriend, I'm still young. There is time for everything."
Felix is set to become one of the most highly-sought after players of the summer when the transfer window opens.
Juventus, Manchester City and Real Madrid are just three teams ready to rivals the Red Devils for his signature.
Italian champions Juve could hold the advantage knowing that he will be under the tutelage of Cristiano Ronaldo.
