Inacio can be a good addition to both United and Dortmund. He can be easily convinced by both of them as it can be big step-up in his career. As of now, United may trail in race due to absence of European football. In contrast, Dortmund have qualified for UCL.
Inacio will add much needed stability in the defence. He is very good in sensing the threat and taking solid action. In addition, he is very good in helping the team in attack. In the 2024/25 season, he scored 6 goals and picked 2 assists in 42 games.
