Manchester United are within touching distance of acquiring the services of Midtjylland attacking sensation Franculino.
According to a report from AsRomaLive.it, Manchester United are interested in acquiring the services of Franculino, and the Red Devils are believed to be very close to securing his services. Ruben Amorim is desperate to have more firepower in the final third, and the club are pushing hard to get the deal over the line.
Franculino was a part of the Benfica youth setup back in the day. He ended up joining Midtjylland in the summer of 2023, even before he got a chance to feature for the first team of his childhood club.
The 21-year-old Guinea-Bissau striker has only gone from strength to strength since joining the Scandinavian club. He has featured in a total of 100 first-team games and has even contributed towards 65 goals.
Franculino’s impressive performances, strong physical presence, and massive potential are major reasons why some of the biggest clubs in the world are after his signature. Manchester United are one of the clubs that are keen on signing him.

The Red Devils are on the lookout for more firepower in the final third despite having forked out a fortune to reinforce their attack in the summer. With Benjamin Sesko out injured and Joshua Zirkzee likely to leave the club in the upcoming winter transfer window, Amorim wants a top-quality replacement before giving the green light to the Dutch international’s departure.
They have identified Franculino as just the perfect fit for his system and have already started working on a potential transfer. Scouts of the Manchester-based club have been keeping tabs on him in recent weeks. Having watched him in action on multiple occasions, the Red Devils have decided to go after his services.
Amorim’s team are believed to be very close to securing his services, and if everything goes to plan, they could end up signing in the winter window.
