Manchester United scouted Portuguese football regularly before Jose Mourinho arrived at the club and they’ll do so long after his departure.
It’s correct to say that scouting of the country increased under the former manager, with Mourinho seemingly wanting to know any possible transfer target in the country. The Premier League club weren’t only looking at the obvious big clubs, but also most of the other sides in the top division.
Given some of the players on show for a lot of the trips, it did feel at least a little over the top.
On Saturday evening, an official from the club was spotted window shopping at the match between Sporting and FC Porto, report O Jogo.

That one may not be over.
