Manchester United looking to negotiate with Sporting's Geovany Quenda
According to a Portuguese media One Ball, manchester united They are already analyzing the possibility of signing Sporting Lisbon's wonderkid, Geovany Quenda.
The Red Devils made a big decision yesterday by confirming the departure of Erik ten Hag from the role of head coach. The club is currently in talks with Sporting for Rubén Amorim and the Portuguese is ready to move to Old Trafford.
One Ball They have now revealed that Man United intend to acquire the services of 17-year-old Quenda, who is enjoying an excellent season with Amorim at Sporting.
He has already played 14 games this season with 2 goals and an assist. One of those goals came against Famalicao last weekend, where United scouts were tracking him.
United are already laying the foundations to secure his signing in the future. The youngster's release clause was recently raised from £37.5m to £83m, according to A Ball.
Future star
Quenda has made a notable impact since his debut with Sporting's first team this season. He has already participated in 3 goals. The youngster also impressed with his dribbling ability, his ability to win duels and his distribution in the last 3 metres.
according to Fotmob.comThe 17-year-old has won 71% of his ground and aerial duels in the Primeira Liga this campaign with a dribbling success rate of 75%. He has also completed 58% of his innings with an average of 2.5 chances created.
Those are pretty impressive stats for someone who is in his first season of senior football. United's talent scouts are monitoring him closely and a deal could be on the cards next summer, particularly if Amorim is confirmed as the next manager.
Amorim has been key in the left-back's development and could urge the United board to bring him to Old Trafford. This could affect the future of Amad Diallo and Antony, who have been on the bench lately.
Diallo's contract expires at the end of June next year and no progress has been made on its renewal. Antony has been a huge disappointment since his big-money move from Ajax and United could sack him next summer.
