Always attentive to the opportunities provided by the transfer market, Manchester United are looking for new reinforcements for their project.

With a view to the winter window, at Old Trafford, they have set their sights on the potential of a defender from Sporting Portugal.

Manchester United have long been one of the protagonists of the transfer windows, showcasing their ability to "splash the cash" with the intention of strengthening their squad.

That being said, it seems their directors will take action during the winter transfer period.

With the firm purpose of making a competitive leap in the performance of their defensive system, the Premier League club has set a priority target.

Specifically, it is Zeno Debast, who has surprised with his performance at Sporting Portugal.

Zeno Debast, on Manchester United's agenda

According to information published by GiveMeSport, the team led by Rúben Amorim is seriously thinking of casting their nets for the centre-back in January.

Under contract with the Portuguese until mid-2029, Debast, 21, represents an interesting alternative for United.

Logically, the Lisbon-based club holds all the advantages in any potential negotiation for their pupil.

However, they are aware of the interest of the Red Devils in the Belgian and their potential bid ahead of the second half of this campaign. We will have to wait to see if Amorim's men will finally cast their nets for Debast.
