Man United face Real Madrid competition for transfer of €50m Ruben Amorim favourite

Manchester United are reportedly set to face competition from Real Madrid for the potential transfer of Sporting Lisbon centre-back Goncalo Inacio.

After his success at Sporting under Ruben Amorim, Sacha Tavolieri has previously linked the gifted young Portugal international to Manchester United.

It would probably be beneficial for Amorim to get Inacio to Old Trafford, but Fichajes claims that it won’t be that easy because Real Madrid is also looking to add a top defensive player.

The Red Devils may compete with Los Blancos for Inacio, according to their source, and it will be intriguing to watch what happens with the 23-year-old in the coming weeks and months.

Inacio looks like he could be a perfect fit for United right now as they surely need to think about bringing in a long-term replacement for someone like Harry Maguire, who is now out of favour in the MUFC first-team.

However, there’s also a lot of competition for places from the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Leny Yoro once he gets back from his injury.

Real Madrid, by contrast, might immediately have more room for Inacio due to the Eder Militao injury problem opening up a space in their team.

Still, Inacio might also be tempted to follow Amorim after doing well under him in his career so far, so it could be that that connection will end up giving United the edge
