Last week we covered claims from Portugal that Manchester United have a £35m ‘agreement in principle’ to sign Nelson Semedo from Benfica in the summer transfer window.
It would be no surprise if Manchester United add a right back, and Semedo is a good candidate, but there’s always the suspicion Benfica are out to use Manchester United’s name to drum up interest.
Portuguese newspaper A Bola unsurprisingly say Semedo and Victor Lindelof will have been on the agenda. Of the two, A Bola believe Semedo performed slightly better and explain he put in a good attacking performance from right back.
Semedo, 23 years of age, has four assists and 1 goal from 20 league games so far this season. He also added a goal against Besiktas in the Champions League, a game in which he was Man of the Match.
