Man Utd reach agreement with "Ronaldo's heir"
Man Utd are said to have reached an agreement to sign Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP for a fee of £50m.
Coach Ruben Amorim has given the green light to the deal, paving the way for Quenda to join Old Trafford.
Geovany Quenda is a promising young talent in Portuguese football. Man City midfielder Bernardo Silva also commented that Quenda could be his replacement in the national team.
Man Utd have been linked with Quenda since Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford. MU are said to have reached a "verbal agreement" over personal terms with the player.
Coach Ruben Amorim made no secret of his admiration for Quenda, calling him “a very talented kid”. He also highlighted Quenda’s focus and determination.
In October last year, Quenda became the youngest player to score for Sporting, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo. Quenda also surpassed another Ronaldo milestone by becoming the youngest player in Sporting history to feature in the Lisbon derby.
Quenda was called up to the Portugal squad by manager Roberto Martinez for the Nations League matches. He later made his debut for the Portugal U-21 team.
