Move inevitable as Man United push to sign £52m star this month – as Ten Hag set to strengthen his squad for the the tough battle ahead
Manchester United have been heavily linked with Goncalo Inacio and they desperately need to sign a quality player like the Portuguese this month.
After 20 games in the Premier League, the Red Devils have let in 27 goals and are the only team in the top 10 with a negative goal difference.
According to a recent report covered by Correio da Manha (news image provided below), the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid are pushing to sign Inacio this month.
The renowned media outlet have mentioned that the 22-year-old defender’s departure from Sporting CP in January is ‘inevitable’ with PL clubs pressing to secure his signature.
Inacio has won multiple domestic titles with the Lions. Moreover, for Portugal, he has won every single game without conceding a goal thus far.
CM Jornal claim the young center half’s current deal has a release clause of £52m, which must be activated to sign him this month.
Man Utd have been poor in all departments but defense is main reason they have been in a crisis situation this season.
Senior central defenders like Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof are out injured and Varane and Evans are just not good enough.
Therefore, the Old Trafford outfit need a leader in their backline and Inacio would be a top signing.
In your opinion, should Man Utd bid £52m to secure Goncalo Inacio?
