Manchester United recently scouted Portuguese teenage sensation Geovany Quenda in Sporting CP’s Primeira Liga clash with Famalicao.
According to a report by Spanish outlet A Bola, Geovany Quenda is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils recently dispatched scouts to watch the Sporting CP prodigy in the Primeira Liga clash with Famalicao. The Portuguese giants have protected the 17-year-old sensation with a release clause worth €100 million. Meanwhile, the Premier League heavyweights have submitted an initial enquiry.
The rapid rise of Geovany Quenda
Geovany Quenda is the latest highly-rated prospect to rise in prominence in his homeland. Several highly-rated prodigies have recently become household names in Portugal, with Quenda progressing through the ranks at SL Benfica and Sporting CP before breaking into the latter club’s first-team squad.
The 17-year-old made his first-team bow for Sporting CP at the onset of the 2024/25 season and has quickly become a regular for the Lions. Quenda has amassed nearly 1000 minutes of game time across 14 appearances in all competitions thus far this term, chipping in with two goals and one assist.
Meanwhile, Quenda’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Widespread reports have linked the Portuguese teenage sensation with many Premier League bigwigs, with Manchester United among his prospective suitors.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Manchester United’s interest in Geovany Quenda is understandable. The Red Devils continue to fret over their never-ending right-wing woes, with the position still a problem for them. With Antony and Jadon Sancho being expensive flops, Manchester United need a solution to the persistent issues in the area.
So, Quenda has emerged as a viable target, with Manchester United recently dispatching scouts to watch the Sporting CP wonderkid in a Primeira Liga clash with Famalicao. In addition, the Premier League heavyweights have established initial contacts to sign the Portuguese attacking sensation.
However, the Portuguese champions have protected Quenda with a release clause worth €100 million. So, the 17-year-old will not come cheap, although Manchester United will likely look to negotiate the price to an acceptable figure. Meanwhile, the youngster will likely reunite with Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford if he joins Manchester United, with the Red Devils closing in on landing the Sporting CP manager as the replacement for Erik ten Hag.
