Manchester United are very interested in signing Sporting CP attacker Francisco Trincao and are ready to pay his release clause.
Manchester United have plenty of planning to do for the upcoming summer transfer window. They have struggled in attack due to the underperformance of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. Even Alejandro Garnacho has been out of form this season. Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Antony are on loan till the end of the season. It is most likely that all these players will leave the club permanently in the summer.
Fichajes has reported that Manchester United are very interested in signing Sporting CP attacker Francisco Trincao. Ruben Amorim, who was the former manager of Sporting CP, wants many of his former club’s players in United colours. The Portugal international has a release clause of €58 million (£48.5m) in his contract. United are ready to trigger it.
Manchester United are ready to pay €58 million for Francisco Trincao
Francisco Trincao is a winger who plays with a quiet flair that sneaks up on you. He has got a velvet touch, moving past defenders with smooth dribbles and a low center of gravity that makes him tough to shake off the ball. Trincao’s vision is a standout, picking out teammates with clever, threaded passes that unlock defenses.

Quick-footed and creative, he is at his best when cutting inside to unleash curling shots or craft chances. There is a cool confidence to him, never rushed, always composed. Trincao is a subtle game-changer, possessing finesse and smarts in a style that’s easy to admire.
The Sporting CP man has scored 8 goals in 27 matches so far in the Liga NOS 2024/2025 season. Overall, Francisco Trincao’s goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.31. Moreover, his total G/A (goals + assists) is 19 for this season. The winger’s goal involvement equates to 0.73 per 90 minutes. His non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.35.

The Portugal international, at 25 years of age, is entering into the peak phase of his career. He could go on to offer a completely new dimension to the depleting attack of United. Moreover, having played under Amorim, the Portugal international should not face any issues while settling at Old Trafford.
Although the price could be a little steep, if he does settle in at United, he could become a very important player for the club in years to come. I think Amorim could take out the best for him in United colors. It remains to be seen if Manchester United are successful in signing Francisco Trincao in the summer or not. I will obviously give a go aheda to this deal!
