Man Utd planning January move for £70m Belgian star

Debast to Man Utd?

Man Utd planning January move for £70m Belgian star

06 September 2025 - 20:20

Manchester United are considering an approach for Sporting CP star Zeno Debast when the transfer window reopens, according to Givemesport.

  • Chelsea open talks to sign Dortmund attacker
  • Man Utd winger to miss Brentford game with injury
  • The Red Devils are keen on adding more quality to the squad. A new defensive midfielder and a centre-back could be signed next year.

    Givemesport claim that Debast has now emerged as a top target for the Red Devils and they plan to monitor him over the next few months.

    Debast started his career as a central defender, but he has been successful as a defensive midfielder too. He played over 20 games there last season.

    Personal terms won't be troublesome due to the 21-year-old's lowly wages of £17,000 per week, but he has a huge release clause worth £70 million.

    It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils will make a raid for the Belgian, who has been likened to Vincent Kompany for his playing style.

    United will need to convince manager Ruben Amorim over a deal. The Portuguese has yet to give the green light for a potential approach.
