Manchester United official in Portugal on transfer mission – But not where they’d be expected

Manchester United are continually linked to players from both Sporting and Benfica.

The latest two said to be receiving interest from Old Trafford are Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix. Buno has been the subject of a complicated transfer saga involving both Manchester clubs, and his exit is increasingly expected this summer.

It would be near impossible for a talent in Portuguese football to escape the attention of Manchester United, given the club’s transfer spies are sent on missions to the country every single weekend.

Almost every Benfica and Sporting match is watched, and the same can be said for Porto.

But those aren’t the only clubs who the Red Devils take an interest in.

Sunday’s edition of A Bola reports Manchester United had a transfer spy at Saturday’s match between Boavista and SC Braga.

The Portuguese newspaper believes the best performer was Boavista goalkeeper Rafael Bracalli, who is 38 years of age so probably not on Manchester United’s radar.

Francisco Trincão is a name which has been receiving attention recently, he’s a 19 year old attacker for Braga and came on as a substitute.

Boavista won the match 4-2.
