Manchester United will likely make changes to the attacking department this summer.
The Red Devils could pursue a marquee striker, but Mirror (page 79) claim that a winger could also be signed.
Manager Ruben Amorim had good success with Francisco Trincao at Sporting CP and would like a reunion.
The 40-year-old wants to put his fingerprint on the squad. He is prepared to test Sporting CP’s resolve to keep Trincao.
The £30 million star is one of the top targets for Amorim, but he is also on Arsenal and Newcastle United’s radar.
Barcelona have a significant advantage over his suitors due to a buy-back clause.
Trincao would be a quality addition for United
The 25-year-old previously had a loan stint with Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League in 2021/22.
He struggled to adapt to the intensity and managed just two goals and an assist from 28 league appearances.
However, he has transformed his career since his move to Sporting CP, initially on loan from Barcelona.
Trincao played as a right winger in a 3-4-3 formation under Amorim, which brought the best out of him.
He has continued in the same role after his departure. The Portuguese has accumulated nine goals and 15 assists this term.
Amorim may see him as potential competition behind the main striker.
Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee have improved their displays lately, but have not made regular goal contributions.
Trincao would be an ideal acquisition. With his contract expiring next year, a £30m deal could be a realistic possibility.
Barcelona have a buy-back clause but may not trigger the option, given their ongoing financial issues.
Arsenal and Newcastle may be interested, but Trincao could prefer a reunion with Amorim at Old Trafford next season.
