Manchester United have reportedly approached Sporting Lisbon for Pedro Goncalves.
Since joining Sporting, the highly-rated winger has featured in 18 matches and has been directly involved in an impressive 15 goals, in all competitions.
Boasting 12 domestic goals, the 22-year-old is currently leading Portugal’s top-flight goalscoring charts with his nearest opposition being Porto’s Sergio Oliviera (7).
Despite being with Sporting for just over six-months, the talented winger has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
The Red Devils have been in the market for an out-and-out right-sided winger for quite some now after being hotly tipped to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho.
According to a recent report, one target the Red Devils have highlighted is Sporting’s Goncalves.
The report claims that United’s hierarchy recently made an informal approach for Sporting’s bang in-form attacker which was immediately rejected.
Goncalves is believed to have a £53m release clause and is contracted to Sporting until 2025.
