The Red Devils would reportedly pursue a deal for the promising Portuguese winger even after signing Patrick Dorgu, who plays in a similar position to the 17-year-old.
Samuel Luckhurst: Man Utd Want to Sign ‘Astonishing’ winger Geovany Quenda
Manchester United are open to signing Sporting winger Geovany Quenda in the summer transfer window, according to Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst.
Ruben Amorim is said to want attack-minded wingers among his options on the flanks, and a move for Quenda remains a possibility after the season.
United met with Quenda’s agent Jorge Mendes in November to discuss the conditions of a potential move and have been tracking the player since his Sporting debut in August.
Malacia was loaned to PSV Eindhoven earlier this month, with a buy option included in the deal, while Shaw faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford after making just three substitute appearances this season.
Red Devils Eyeing Quenda Deal
To bolster Ruben Amorim’s attacking options
Quenda, praised as ‘astonishing’ by Roberto Martinez, made his Sporting debut in August and has been a key player for the club since, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing seven assists.
United may reportedly not tolerate another injury-hit season from Shaw and could look to offload him before his contract expires in June 2027.
The Red Devils were restricted financially from pursuing a new forward and have seemingly pushed their plans to the summer, having failed in their bid to sign Mathys Tel, who joined Tottenham on loan.
Man United had a quiet January transfer window, signing young defenders Dorgu and Ayden Heaven to only bolster Amorim’s backline.
