Quenda is the latest exciting talent to emerge from the Sporting academy. Coming from the same school as Cristiano Ronaldo, although he had previously played for Benfica, the 17-year-old was called up by Sporting coach Rubén Amorim for pre-season and his career has since taken off.
The young winger is now a regular on the right flank and has played 12 games this season. With a goal in the Portuguese Super Cup against Porto, Quenda also made his debut in the League and Champions League, becoming a regular starter.
His performances have not gone unnoticed by Roberto Martínez. The Portugal coach called him up for this month's Nations League ties.
United, according to A Bola, have set their sights on him. The winger renewed his contract with Sporting in September until 2027 and his release clause was raised to €100m.
The jewel is already valued as highly as Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has the same release clause.
