Manchester United eyeing up move for teenage star from Ruben Amorim's former club Sporting CP: Reports

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Salvador Blopa from Sporting CP. The Red Devils are looking to bring in the wing-back, who can play on both flanks.According to a Daily Mail report, Manchester United are planning to raid Ruben Amorim's former side and see Blopa as an ideal player for their squad at Old Trafford. The teenager has been on the radar of several clubs after his impressive debut for the Portuguese side.The defender was a key part of Sporting CP's B team, before making it to the first team and scoring two goals on his debut. Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on the teenager, who has been likened to PSG star Nuno Mendes.The report comes days after Paul Parker urged the Red Devils to sign a replacement for Diogo Dalot. The former player claimed that the Portuguese star was only interested in high-fives and said (via Metro):"Dalot's making far too many mistakes, unnecessary mistakes. He's more interested in high-fiving people when he makes a tackle than actually doing his job properly. So, high-fives don't win you games of football. By the time you've done your high-five, they could have actually bounced off of your great tackle and gone and scored a goal.""So, high-five at half-time or after the game. So, no, you can't trust Dalot there. You're not getting enough quality in the final third from him as well. He doesn't do enough defensively. He switches off too much, his clearances are poor, very poor, that's one reason."Apart from Blopa, Manchester United have also been linked with Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand.Manchester United urged to change captain by club legendManchester United Peter Schmeichel was on Viaplay earlier this season, urging Ruben Amorim to change the club captain. He slammed Bruno Fernandes for hs body language on the pitch and said (via GOAL)"I think Bruno is a fantastic player, plays maybe in the wrong position, but sometimes I don't like his body language. I know he talks really well to all the players but somethimes he has reactions that can be mistaken for something else. Harry doesn't have that, he has that calm head.""I was saying during the game: Look at Harry, look at how he is telling everyone where to go and helping players. And there are a lot of players in this team that are so low on confidence that they need help. And then Harry plays and I'm so happy he scored that goal."Bruno Fernandes was linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League in the summer, and reports suggest they remain interested in signing him at the end of the season.
