Amidst Manchester United’s ongoing pursuit of Sporting Lisbon talisman Viktor Gyokeres, Ruben Amorim has set his sights on a reunion with another former player.

Indeed, the Red Devils have been linked with Sporting’s highly-rated centre-half, Goncalo Inacio, for a second consecutive summer.

This time last year, United had opted to go all-out in their pursuit of teenage prospect Leny Yoro, who has since become an integral cog in Amorim’s project at Old Trafford, as well as a more experienced — but still young — addition in the form of Matthijs de Ligt.

Reinforcements are necessary yet again this summer, though, after United bid farewell to Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans at the end of the campaign when their contracts expired.

INEOS chiefs did opt to keep hold of Harry Maguire by activating his one-year extension, ensuring he’s tied to Old Trafford until the culmination of 2025/2026. It remains to be seen what their plans are with him when that deal approaches its end.

Nonetheless, Inacio, 23, poses as a proven and surprisingly affordable option to add to the ranks. He has a £50 million release clause included in his terms, although numerous outlets have claimed Sporting would accept a cut-price fee of £33m to sanction his exit.

Inacio made 187 appearances across five-and-a-half seasons under Amorim, which bodes well in United’s favour if they are to reignite their interest in the coming months.

Portuguese outlet O Joga, relayed by CaughtOffside, claims the Reds and arch-rivals Liverpool are among the teams mulling over a move for the ‘phenomenal’ 16-capped international this summer, while Newcastle United are also keeping tabs from afar.

One issue, of course, is that Arne Slot and Eddie Howe can offer Inacio the chance to play Champions League football next season, whereas he’ll be in for a considerably quieter term should he make the move to Manchester.
