Man Utd Transfer Summary: The Portuguese starlet’s release clause doubles if interested

Manchester United have a rare weekend off due to international break but there has still been a lot of transfer speculation.

The last break before the winter window has traditionally been a time for players vying for a possible move to push on the exit door, and this year was no exception.

It has been a slow start to the season for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men and the Norwegian coach is reportedly under pressure. Former Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino replaced him.

Last year, the arrival of Bruno Fernandes in January helped usher in a significant surge in form that ultimately gave the club a top four result.

And CEO Ed Woodward may be working hard to identify the next target that should have a similar impact this year.

With that in mind, here is the latest news and gossip from Old Trafford.

The Portuguese defender’s release clause doubles

ESPN report that Manchester United are keeping an eye on highly rated Braga prospect David Carmo.

The 21-year-old center-back has represented Portugal in the U20s and has stood out in the Liga NOS after breaking through this year after making his league debut in January.

The report goes on to say that United will only move for him if they can outsource either Phil Jones or Marcos Rojo.

Rumors of the club’s interest surfaced just a day after the youngster signed a new deal with Braga, with suggestions that his release clause be doubled from € 20m to € 40m per Portuguese outlet The ball.

Gareth Southgate has told Dean Henderson that he must find regular time at the club level to become England’s number one 90min.

The 23-year-old Man United academy graduate was promoted to replace David de Gea this season after being on loan at Sheffield United for the last two seasons.

He was called up to the final three-lions squad and made his debut in a 3-0 win over the Republic of Ireland on Thursday after joining Burnley’s Nick Pope at halftime.

Reports in the summer claimed that Henderson “Almost agree” to move to Aston Villa before his parents’ club convinced him to stay at Old Trafford. Instead, Emiliano Martinez moved from Arsenal to Villa Park.

Henderson has yet to appear for United in the Premier League. His three senior appearances this season are in the League Cup and the Champions League.

“The boy is in an important context like United’s, before he evaluates an exit there must be absolutely valid situations,” he told the Italian outlet Football market.

“The Milan idea may have logic, but we have to evaluate many implications, today we are not talking about anything.”

The Ivory Coast international was linked to AC Milan over the summer but stayed with United, which he originally joined for a reported £ 30m fee in 2016.

He received praise for his performance in the 3-0 Carabao Cup wins against Luton and Brighton at the start of the captain’s but has been out of the club since losing 6-1 to Tottenham in early October.
