Man Utd Want to Sign ‘Complete’ Sporting CP Playmaker After £100m Update as Amorim backs him to shine at Old Trafford

Trincao played under the Portuguese manager for over two seasons at Sporting and revived his career after underwhelming spells at Barcelona and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

According to MailOnline, United view Trincao as an alternative to £100m-rated Dibling, who they believe could be moulded into a right wing-back under Amorim next season

It remains to be seen if the same approach would apply to Trincao, who is already 25 – six years older than Dibling – and has primarily established himself as a right winger.

Trincao, praised as a ‘complete’ player, was important in Sporting’s title-winning campaign under Amorim last season, scoring nine goals and providing six assists in 31 league appearances.

He is enjoying an even better 2024/25 season, with eight goals and 11 assists in just 26 Liga Portugal games

United are preparing for a squad reshuffle under Amorim this summer and are believed to be targeting four key signings, including a new centre-forward and centre-back.

The Red Devils sit 13th in the Premier League with nine games remaining and face Nottingham Forest away on Tuesday
