Christopher Vivell Makes Big Call On Sporting Lisbon Wonderkid
Manchester United are reportedly interested in Sporting Lisbon whizkid Geovany Quenda.
The 17-year-old joined Sporting in 2021 and progressed through the youth system before making his debut in August 2024.
Quenda has made 10 appearances for his Portuguese side in the 2024-25 campaign, scoring once and providing one assist. He has caught the eye of several major clubs.
According to Fichajes, Manchester United is interested in the teenager, closely monitoring his performances in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign.
The report claims that the Red Devils view him as a ‘potential future star of world football’ and are ready to step up their interest in a bid to win the race for his services.
Quenda had an impressive record of nine goals and seven assists in 24 appearances for Sporting Under-23s, and he primarily operates as a right-sided attacker.
Sporting have him on a contract until June 2027 but are likely to find it incredibly difficult to keep hold of him on a long-term basis due to the growing interest in his services.
Quenda has helped Sporting win all seven of their league matches this season. He has also started both of their games in the new-look Champions League.
Christopher Vivell is credited as the mastermind behind Man United’s interest in Quenda. Vivell was hired last summer as part of United’s footballing structure overhaul and tasked with scouting the best talents worldwide.
Man United have famously signed Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Bruno Fernandes from Sporting, and they could be about to add another player to their squad from the Portuguese giants.
