Ruben Amorim Wants to Sign ‘One of the Best’ in the World for Man United in 2025 summer transfer window -Report

Ruben Amorim  has earmarked Sporting Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio as a priority signing for  Manchester United  in the 2025 summer transfer window, Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri has revealed.

In order to strengthen his defensive alternatives in the upcoming season, the new Red Devils manager may bring in familiar faces from Portugal.

It is said that he wants to establish his identity within the Premier League powerhouses as soon as possible.

Tavolieri claims that Amorim might bring a number of Sporting players to Old Trafford, including the highly sought-after Inacio and his £63 million center-back partner Ousmane Diomande.

Sporting has had an amazing start to the Portuguese season thanks to the talented pair, who have won their first ten games while giving up just three goals.

This summer, Man United was already considering Inacio, who was valued at over £50 million; but, the Red Devils chose to go with Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt instead.

Inacio ranks third among all Sporting players in league minutes played under Amorim this term, behind Viktor Gyokeres and Francisco Trincao.

Inacio, labelled ‘one of the best young defenders in the world’, has become one of Amorim’s most trusted players in recent seasons and was key in their league title last term, making 32 appearances.

Having signed a contract extension until 2027 last year, the 23-year-old still has almost three years left on his contract.

According to Tavolieri, Amorim is likely to fund his summer spree by offloading multiple first-team stars at Old Trafford, with the likes of Antony, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof now facing an uncertain future under the 39-year-old tactician.

Speaking to the media last week, Amorim indicated that he will not try to poach any Sporting players to Man United in the January transfer window, despite recent speculation that the Portuguese tactician is already lining up early moves in 2025.

The 39-year-old, who begins his new role in England a week on Monday, is, however, expected to bring in five of his backroom staff members to Old Trafford
