Manchester United are interested in Tottenham Hotspur full-back Pedro Porro, as per reports from Spain.
Amorim’s arrival at Carrington was followed by question marks over United’s full-back options, as the new manager’s 3-4-3 system relies heavily on the side’s full-backs to create chances from wide areas.
As far as the right-flank is concerned, Amad Diallo has so far exceeded the expectations, proving to be a very promising option as a right wing-back going forward. However, it remains to be seen how he deals with defensive responsibilities against more able opponents.
In the meantime, the Red Devils continue to be linked with other quality options for the position. It has been widely reported that Amorim wants to reunite with Sporting CP right wing-back Geovany Quenda.
Now, it is being suggested that United are following Porro, another full-back who has previously impressed under Amorim.
According to SPORT (via Sport Witness), the Tottenham Hotspur star is ready to move to a “giant” club and has attracted interest from several top European sides, including Real Madrid.
The Spanish outlet says “now is the time” for the Spaniard to depart North London and earn a big move.
The 25-year-old, known for his creative instincts, has been one of Spurs’ best players under Ange Postecoglou.
United, alongside Madrid and Manchester City, are believed to be keen on Porro.
However, Spurs’ stance on the potential departure of their prized asset, who only joined the club from Sporting in 2023, remains unclear.
After struggling to cement his place under Pep Guardiola at City, Porro moved to Portugal and thrived under Amorim at Sporting before returning to England.
As such, if the player is indeed looking to leave Spurs, the idea of reuniting with his ex-boss in Manchester isn’t far-fetched and can’t be ruled out at the moment.
