Manchester United have scouted the Sporting starlet Gelson Martins again, according to A Bola.
The Portuguese newspaper says that Red Devils officials were watching the Portuguese Cup tie last night between Famalicão and Sporting, which the away team won 1-0.
A Bola makes sure to say that Manchester United’s target was Gelson Martins, who came on as a substitute after 63 minutes, replacing the former Fulham midfielder Alan Ruiz. The scouting report would now be delivered to José Mourinho, who will have the final word.
According to the outlet, the Portuguese manager has found weaknesses in Manchester United’s attacking sector and is looking for a player who can solve it.
Gelson Martins has been linked to United for a few weeks now. All the fuss started when he had a great performance against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League, and since then, Barcelona and the Galacticos are said to be interested as well.
