I would be perfect transfer for Manchester United - and Ruben Amorim thinks so too

Geovany Quenda has quickly become one of the most talked about talents in Europe.

The Sporting Lisbon sensation is still only 17 but has flourished in Portugal having been handed his chance by the now Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim.

He fits the bill for an Ineos arrival as a young player with potential to grow on the pitch and make money off it should a sale down the line be an avenue explored.

Amorim is now here. And whether he makes a move or not for Quenda in the coming months and years, it is evident
