The Red Devils would activate Talisca’s release clause with a £21 million bid forcing Benfica to accept the offer.
Talisca is currently on a two-year loan at Besiktas from Benfica but the Portuguese giants have set a release clause in his contract.
Should the Brazilian attacking midfielder end up joining United it would pave the way for Besiktas to sign Mata.
The report claims that Besiktas are plotting a move for Mata who will have 12 months remaining on his contract at the end of the season.
United could be prepared to part ways with the 28-year-old if they replace him with Talisca.
Talisca has hit the ground running at Besiktas this season. The 23-year-old has directly been involved in 17 goals – 11 goals, 6 assists.
