While former Coventry ace Viktor Gyokeres was praised for his hat-trick in that game, it was 17-year-old Quenda who set Gyokeres’ tally in motion with a wonderful pass between the lines.
Prior to signing Amorim, Manchester United had been keeping an eye on the left-footed winger, who played right wing-back versus City.
According to A Bola, the Red Devils will make a transfer offer for him next summer.
According to the source, their initial proposal will be approximately £33 million.
However, the Guinea-Bissau-born Portugal youth international now has a full release clause of £84 million after renewing his contract until 2027 in September; his previous contract had a clause of £38 million.
Amorim promised not to sign any players from his former club in January, but he did not rule out making any deals in the summer.
He told reporters: “In the January market, I will not [sign players from Sporting].”
“In the heat, I’m not sure. The first point is to wait until summer.
