TOP STORY: Man United scouts consider Inacio for January transfer window

Manchester United have added Sporting CP centre-back Gonçalo Inacio to their shortlist as the Premier League club continue their search for a January signing, according to Fabrizio Romano.

It is reported that Man United are planning to send scouts to Portugal to watch the 22-year-old, who has also recently been linked with Liverpool and Newcastle.

The Red Devils have made the centre of defence a priority for January. Manager Erik ten Hag has been without Lisandro Martínez for a period of time, while England international Harry Maguire is yet to fully convince the former Ajax head coach after a potential move to West Ham broke down in the summer.

Inacio is believed to be the latest of a number of options under consideration by Manchester United, amid reports that they are also exploring moves for Jean-Clair Todibo of Nice, António Silva of Benfica, and Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen.

Man United will need to negotiate for Inanco — the Portugal international remains contracted at the Liga Portugal side until 2027 after he signed extended terms in the summer. Sporting CP have reportedly confirmed that he has a release clause in his contract worth €60 million.
