Manchester United are reportedly plotting a move for Sporting CP youngster Geovany Quenda. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The 17-year-old sensation, who recently earned his first senior national team call-up, could become a key signing for United as the club look to rebuild under new manager Ruben Amorim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amorim, who officially took charge at United earlier this month, is gearing up for his first match as manager when they face Ipswich this weekend.<\/p>\n

With the January transfer window still weeks away, Amorim must work with the squad he inherited from predecessor Erik ten Hag. However, the summer window is expected to be a different story.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s new leadership under Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly taking a cautious approach to the January transfer market but are preparing to back Amorim significantly next summer.<\/p>\n

Quenda, who emerged as a standout talent at Sporting under Amorim, is seen as a priority target.<\/p>\n

Man Utd Interested In Geovany Quenda<\/h2>\n

Quenda has quickly become one of the most sought-after young talents in European football. His meteoric rise under Amorim at Sporting caught the attention of top clubs across the continent.<\/p>\n

The forward\u2019s current contract includes a \u00a384 million (\u20ac100m) release clause, making any potential deal a substantial investment.<\/p>\n

According to Portuguese outlet A Bola<\/em>, Sporting are unlikely to entertain offers below \u00a333.5m (\u20ac40m) for the teenager.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s longstanding interest in Quenda, coupled with Amorim\u2019s arrival at Old Trafford, positions the club as a front-runner in the race to secure his signature.<\/p>\n

Quenda\u2019s National Team Breakthrough<\/h3>\n

Quenda\u2019s rapid development has been further escalated after receiving his first senior call-up to Portugal\u2019s national team, filling a gap left by the suspension of Bruno Fernandes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Portugal manager Roberto Martinez expressed confidence in the young forward\u2019s abilities, emphasising his importance ahead of their remaining Nations League matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a World Cup finals in 18 months. The game against Croatia is important, we need to look at other players,\u201d said Martinez.<\/p>\n
