Amorim turned Goncalves into a prolific goal-scoring midfielder during their time together at Sporting. He struck 18 times in the 2022-23 season and bagged another 14 in 2023-24, while his familiarity with Amorim's 3-4-3 system would be a huge tick for the Red Devils.

Al-Hilal have made a £100m ($135m) play for Fernandes, who has seven days to decide whether to accept the hugely lucrative move. While United are loath to lose their captain, that fee could allow them to reinvest in several areas of the squad.
