Summary
- Manchester United discusses move for Sporting CP winger Salvador Blopa.
- Blopa, 18, made his senior debut this season with two goals.
- United seeks wingback reinforcements amid mixed form this season.

Manchester United has initiated discussions regarding a potential transfer for Salvador Blopa, an 18-year-old winger from Sporting CP. This exploration into the Portuguese club's talent aligns with manager Ruben Amorim's expressed need for reinforcements, particularly in the wingback position. Blopa, who was part of Sporting's academy during Amorim's tenure, has recently broken into the senior team this season.
Blopa made a notable senior debut, scoring two goals, and has since added five appearances across domestic and Champions League competitions. His brief but impactful showings have attracted the attention of Manchester United, who are considering a move for the Portugal Under-19 international. This pursuit is part of United's strategy to bolster their squad during what is anticipated to be an active winter transfer window.
The Red Devils are actively identifying potential targets to address the team's inconsistent performance. While they missed out on Antoine Semenyo, they are evaluating alternatives like Yan Diomande. The club is also considering academy reinforcements, with Yisa Alao being a subject of bids. Discussions about player departures are also underway, with potential sales that could necessitate further signings, especially in midfield.
