Ruben Amorim<\/a> has encouraged Manchester United<\/a> bosses to pursue a move for Sporting winger Francisco Trincao in the summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United made one addition to Amorim’s senior squad in the January transfer window, with Patrick Dorgu joining from Lecce<\/a> – in a deal worth around \u00a329million – to become the Portuguese’s first signing at Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But results have failed to pick up since Dorgu’s arrival and United’s FA Cup elimination at the hands of Fulham<\/a> means the Europa League represents the club’s only remaining shot at silverware<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Amorim has pleased with supporters to be patient for a turnaround in fortunes<\/a> and there has been some level of understanding amongst the fanbase given the 40-year-old is yet to fully make his mark on the squad in the transfer market.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are, though, expected to invest heavily in new recruits when the summer transfer window opens for business and Amorim is looking at a number of his former Sporting players as possible targets.<\/p>\n

The likes of Viktor Gyokeres<\/a>, Geovany Quenda<\/a> and Ousmane Diomande are all believed to be firmly on United’s radar<\/a> and Trincao is another Sporting star ‘held in high regard’ at the Theatre of Dreams, according to A Bola<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amorim and Hugo Viana – Manchester City’s newly appointed sporting director – played an instrumental role in luring Trincao to Sporting from Barcelona in 2023 -but both are now threatening to steal the winger away from Lisbon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sporting are aware of the growing interest in Trincao and are keen to tie the 25-year-old down with a bumper new contract at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.<\/p>\n

Trincao’s current deal with the Primeira Liga leaders – which contains an eye-watering \u20ac80million (\u00a366m) release clause – runs through to the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n

The report states that the attacker’s former side, Barcelona, are entitled to 50 per cent of the value of any future sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
