Manchester United reportedly look to have been handed a major transfer boost as one of their targets is eager to make the move to Old Trafford.
The player in question is Sporting Lisbon wonderkid Geovany Quenda, with the talented 17-year-old apparently keen to work with former manager Ruben Amorim again.
Amorim recently left Sporting to take over as Man Utd manager, and this has unsurprisingly led to plenty of speculation about him raiding his old club.
So far this hasn’t happened, but TEAMtalk report that Quenda is on the Red Devils’ list of transfer targets, and he’d be keen on following Amorim to Manchester. The report adds that he has an £83m release clause.
The Portugal Under-21 international has shone in the Sporting first-team this season, and one imagines he could do well to continue his development under a highly-rated coach like Amorim.
Geovany Quenda transfer could give Manchester United plenty of exciting options
Quenda is a highly versatile talent, so it would be interesting to see what kind of role he’s given if he does end up joining United.
Normally a right wing-back, Quenda has also played as a winger on either flank, and as an attacking midfielder.
MUFC have switched to using wing-backs under Amorim, so it could be that that would be the best use of the player, but they also have issues in attack that he could help solve.
Of course, it’s asking a lot for a relatively inexperienced teenager to come in and become a key player at such a big club, but some young players seem to relish making that step up, and Quenda looks like one of them.
Quenda will surely also have other big clubs interested in him, but it seems the Amorim connection could be really useful for United in this saga.
Amorim handed Quenda his Sporting debut, so has already played a key role in launching his career, so perhaps we’ll see their story together continue.
The players who held a meeting behind the managers back are only ADMITTING that they are not good enough. Any good player should be able to play football in whatever system.
It’s time to get these moaners out. They complain about training being too hard, they want days off after winning a game, and most of all they want their BIG wage packets, even if they are not prepared to give 110% in every game. This has been the case since FERGIE called time and many top managers have been thrown under the bus. This has got to stop or this great club will be dragged down even lower. These players should be named and shamed, and even docked their wages if they don’t do as they are told, or at least try. Most of our young players would give their life, to have a chance to play with the first team, and they should be given their chance instead of these BABIES.
Not sure a club that is making emergency redundancies to prevent going bust can afford an £83m release clause?
Then WTF you guys are waiting for, if this was Glazers by now, you British morons would have scream head out to get that Americans out of MU, why are you British morons are keeping quite now, this British bastard (Radcliffe) is ruining the club more badly then the Americans. what are you British going to do now. Sit and cry or enjoy the scenario.
