Ruben Amorim eyes another Sporting CP Playmaker – along with Geovany Quenda ahead of summer transfer window
The Old Trafford outfit’ interest in Trincao comes as no surprise, given their manager Ruben Amorim’s history with the Portuguese club.
Man United were linked with Sporting’s star striker Viktor Gyokeres, though Amorim quickly shut down the possibility of a winter move. That doesn’t mean he won’t look to reunite with some of his former players once the summer window opens.
According to Portuguese outlet A Bola, Trincao is now firmly on United’s wishlist. Both Amorim and United’s recruitment team are big admirers of the winger and are plotting a move to bring him back to England.
The 25-year-old, who previously had a loan spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers, has been one of Sporting’s standout performers this season, racking up nine goals and 13 assists in 40 appearances.
However, United aren’t the only ones keen. Manchester City are also in the mix, with incoming sporting director Hugo Viana eager to bring Trincao to the Etihad
Sporting have recently reached out to Francisco Trincao to discuss a potential contract renewal, but this could be more about protecting his transfer value than securing his long-term future. With several top clubs circling, a summer move still looks likely.
Meanwhile, talks are progressing for another Sporting talent, Geovany Quenda, who has been extensively linked with a move to Old Trafford in the summer, reuniting with his former boss.
