Ruben Amorim already plotting transfer raid on Sporting CP as Man Utd eye teen sensation Geovany Quenda as possible Antony replacement

<p>The 39-year-old is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-reasons-man-utd-picked-ruben-amorim-erik-ten-tag-sporting-cp-notice-period-release-clause/blt48523052fb266cd2" target="_blank">one of Europe's most highly-rated young coaches</a>, following his two Primeira Liga title wins with Sporting CP in 2020-21 and 2023-24. In the latter stages of Amorim's Sporting reign, teen talent Geovany Quenda emerged as one of his most important players, and now reports are suggesting that the new United boss is already looking to bring the 17-year-old to Old Trafford.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to Portuguese sports publication <a href="https://www.abola.pt/futebol/noticias/manchester-united-esteve-em-famalicao-com-mira-a-um-jogador-do-sporting-2024102722002271564" target="_blank"><em>A Bola</em></a>, Amorim is following Quenda's progress closely and are already considering the possibility of signing the young winger, potentially to take Antony's place amid his struggles at Old Trafford. However, this is unlikely to be one of Amorim's most pressing concerns when he first arrives at Carrington; despite making some strong signings in the summer, United are in extremely poor form and badly need a reset on the pitch before they can turn their attention to the January transfer window.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Quenda made his debut for Sporting on 3 August 2024 and became the youngest player to score for the club, netting his first goal aged just 17 years and 95 days. He was born in 2007, meaning that the last time United won the Premier League he was only six years old.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim doesn't take charge at United until 11 November, so he still has a small amount of time to impart some extra wisdom to his young winger. That being said, if the Red Devils have their way, it's possible Quenda could end up joining the club in January. Either way, Amorim's clear knack for developing youth is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-man-utd-winners-losers-bruno-fernandes-manuel-ugarte-ineos/bltebfeb9db39de2ffc#cs3eed40a223b6148e" target="_blank">a positive sign for United youngsters like Rasmus Hojlund</a> and Alejandro Garnacho.</p><p></p>
