As Richarlison's form continues to wane, the prestige of the club's the Watford winger is linked with grows.

Chelsea, Spurs and Everton are all names we have become accustomed to hearing mentioned in the same breath as the 20-year-old, but Manchester United are reportedly monitoring his progress now.

Sky Sports say the Red Devils are interested in Richarlison, who Watford value at £40m, whilst reports elsewhere have suggested Jose Mourinho is looking at revamping his attacking options again this summer - Anthony Martial is being tipped with an exit.

It is a lot of money, though, for a player who made a blistering start to life in England, scoring five goals in 12 games, but has faltered ever since.

Fatigue has clearly been an issue, something the club acknowledge, and the departure of Marco Silva, the head coach who played a large role in Richarlison choosing Watford, has not helped.

Whether or not United's interest ends with a bid or enquiry remains to be seen, but even if they decide against signing the Brazilian, Watford will certainly receive offers from elsewhere.

Sky are also saying that the Hornets' interest in Stevenage centre-back Ben Wilmot is over, despite reports from various outlets yesterday saying a £1.5m deal was done.

Watford say they bid £500k for the highly-rated centre-back in January - a figure never likely to tempt Boro into selling - but it was rejected and they have focussed their attention elsewhere.

Not that Wilmot is likely to stay in Hertfordshire with a number of top-flight and Championship clubs still interested in the 18-year-old England youth international.
