Manchester United are said to have met with the super agent of one Portugal's brightest teenage stars. Ruben Amorim arrived at the club from Sporting earlier this month tasked with leading United forward after Erik ten Hag's dismissal.

Geovany Quenda has a member of his entourage and a familiar face in Jorge Mendes, who has moved clients to Man United in the past.

Diogo Dalot can operate on either side but, having been last season’s player of the year, his form has perhaps suffered from switching so often. Noussair Mazraoui has been an excellent buy but possibly lacks the attacking flair Amorim would want in that role and may be better suited to the back three.
