Manchester United are already looking ahead to the summer transfer window, with a focus on strengthening their squad and returning to the top of English football. The club has been linked with a move for Sporting CP teenager Geovany Quenda, who is expected to join for £50 million. United are also exploring free transfer options, with Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and several other high-profile players on their radar.
The January transfer window has been closed for a week now, but despite Manchester United 's victory at the weekend, the focus remains on strengthening Ruben Amorim 's squad. Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven arrived during the winter window, but there's still much work to be done in the transfer market for United to return to the top of English football. At least three positions require reinforcements.
Unlike previous windows, it seems those in charge at Old Trafford are laying the groundwork to ensure deals are completed early. The Manchester Evening News takes a look at the latest developments surrounding the club in the final days of the January window. Scouts are keeping a close eye on priority target Geovany Quenda, a player linked with a move to United ever since Amorim's arrival from Lisbon. It's expected that they will make a move for him once the current season concludes. According to Portuguese outlet Record, officials were present at Sporting's 1-1 draw with Porto on Friday to watch the teenager in action. The report also adds that they will be watching him again on Tuesday against Borussia Dortmund. Previous reports have stated that United have already agreed a £50m fee for Quenda. The 17-year-old is viewed as the perfect candidate to bolster Amorim's wing-back options. MEN Sport says: 'Alongside Gyokeres, Quenda almost feels guaranteed to follow Amorim to United in the summer. The fact that reports in Portugal are stating the club are laying down roots in Lisbon for the transfer already is encouraging. 'However, they can't mess about like they did with Dorgu. The left-back was on their radar from the start of the window but didn't arrive until the final days. United must get Quenda in early to give him and Amorim the best chance to succeed. 'Ideally, the same officials will be watching Gyokeres...' Free transfers are also being eyed. This is a surprising move, but one that could make sense. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, United are considering a move for Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The forward's contract at Goodison Park expires in the summer and is reportedly one of five players United want to sign this summer on a free transfer. Jonathan David, Angel Gomes, Leroy Sane, and Jonathan Tah are also on their radar. Fichajes reports that United are keen to dip into the free market window amid concerns of financial fair play (FFP). MEN Sport says: 'Calvert-Lewin should have a bold line across his name. He shouldn't be considered by United. His injury record speaks for itself and he's not the prolific goalscorer Amorim needs. 'The other four, however, would all improve the squad. However, it'll almost be impossible to land them all with other big teams putting in the word to sign them. FFP concerns mean United simply have to look at these options and move quickly before their rivals do.
