Man United eyes Sporting winger as Antony's potential replacement
With Antony’s recent performance at Manchester United leaving uncertainty about his future at Old Trafford, the club has started exploring alternative options on the wing.
Details: According to A Bola, United scouts were present at Sporting's match against Famalicão on Saturday, closely observing the performance of 17-year-old winger Geovani Quenda from Lisbon’s Sporting CP. The young talent reportedly impressed the Manchester United representatives, sparking genuine interest from the club.
The report suggests that United has already initiated talks with Sporting about Quenda's transfer. However, as the winger is still a minor, he cannot officially sign until at least April, though both clubs may negotiate a deal for next summer.
Reminder: Antony, already somewhat out of favor under former head coach Erik ten Hag—who was dismissed from the club on October 28 — recently suffered a severe injury during a match against Fenerbahçe, leaving the field on a stretcher.
