Portuguese defender waiting for transfer bid from Man Utd
Sporting Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio is reportedly waiting for a transfer offer from Manchester United.
The Portuguese had a fantastic season with Sporting and he has been recently called up for international duty.
Amidst this, O Jogo claim that the 21-year-old has stalled on contract talks in order to analyse potential interest.
United have been following him for the last 18 months and the youngster is waiting for a transfer bid from them.
Inacio is a left-footed central defender who is strong with the ball at his feet. He completed 90 per cent of his passes last term.
The youngster has also impressed with his tackling, intercepting skills and ability to make regular clearances.
It remains to be seen whether United make a formal approach for him. As things stand, Kim Min-jae is the main centre-back target for them.
The Napoli star has verbally agreed terms with the Red Devils, but a transfer may not happen until the beginning of next month.
Min-jae currently has a foreign release clause of €60 million in his contract which only becomes active during the first 15 days of July.
