United have had a good record with Portuguese players in the past.
Cristiano Ronaldo won the lot during his first spell at Old Trafford after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in 2003.
Nani was another hit, with the winger also touching down from Sporting four years later.
And United have also seen Bruno Fernandes shine after he arrived from the same team in the January transfer window of 2020.

“He’s a quality player,” Phillips told Football Insider.
“He’s one of those players that always wants to get on the ball. For me, I think he’s an upgrade on McTominay and Fred.
“He’s got better distribution, he’s better on the ball – he’s absolute quality. He can score goals as well.
“I remember sitting on the bench at Molineux when Derby played Wolves, he scored that volley – incredible.
“He has developed into a top-class Premier League player. From a Wolves point of view, it’ll be gutting. He will have no problems getting into that Man United midfield – he’s fantastic.”
