Manchester United are reportedly interested in reuniting 24-year-old Portuguese international Francisco Trincao with Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Francisco Trincao is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils want to reunite the Sporting CP winger with Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford next year. Meanwhile, the 24-year-old attacker will not cost a bomb, with the Portuguese champions valuing him at around €15 million.
Francisco Trincao and his topsy-turvy career so far
Francisco Trincao has established himself as one of the best players in the Primeira Liga for a second time since joining Sporting CP from Barcelona. The youngster rose in prominence after graduating from the youth division at SC Braga, compelling the Blaugrana to secure his services in 2020.
However, the 24-year-old attacker could not establish a foothold in the first-team squad at FC Barcelona, and he eventually wound up at Sporting CP. The Lions initially signed him on loan in July 2022 before completing a permanent move a year later. Ruben Amorim brought the best out of Trincao, enabling him to become a productive winger.
The Portuguese international has been solid thus far this term, chipping in with three goals and seven assists in 16 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Trincao’s progress at Sporting CP has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Manchester United.
Set for a reunion with Amorim in Manchester?
Manchester United’s interest in Francisco Trincao is understandable. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a right-sided attacker heading into the 2025 summer transfer window. With Antony failing to make his mark since arriving from Ajax two years ago, he might be surplus to requirements at Manchester United, especially after Erik ten Hag’s departure.
Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Manchester United will look to raid Sporting CP for multiple players under Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils want to reunite Trincao with Amorim, with the incoming manager knowing how to bring the best out of his compatriot.
Meanwhile, Sporting CP will not charge a bomb to part ways with Trincao, slapping a price tag of €15 million on him. Manchester United should have the funds to afford a deal worth €15 million to sign the 24-year-old Portuguese attacker. It will be interesting to see if a deal sees the light of day.
