RUBEN AMORIM EYES SPORTING CP REUNION AT MAN UTD, WITH RED DEVILS TARGETING SUMMER MOVE FOR CENTRE-BACK GONCALO INACIO

Manchester United are preparing a summer transfer move for Sporting CP centre-back Gonçalo Inácio, as incoming manager Ruben Amorim looks to reunite with one of his key defenders. The Portuguese coach, expected to take over at Old Trafford, has identified Inácio as a priority signing to strengthen United’s backline.

Why Amorim Wants Inácio at United

🔹 Familiarity & Trust – A vital part of Amorim’s title-winning Sporting side, Inácio is well-versed in his tactical system.

🔹 Ball-Playing Ability – Comfortable in possession, his distribution suits United’s expected build-from-the-back approach.

🔹 Left-Footed Centre-Back – Offers balance in defense, a profile United lack since Lisandro Martínez’s injuries.

🔹 Age & Potential – At 22 years old, he fits United’s vision of signing young, high-potential talents.
