Manchester United’s pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain defender Nuno Mendes has come to an end after the Portuguese international signed a contract extension until 2029.
With Mendes off the market, Ruben Amorim must now explore alternative options to bolster his squad.
Geovany Quenda: A Potential Right-Back Target
One possible solution for United’s right-back conundrum is Sporting Lisbon’s Geovany Quenda.

The 17-year-old has already gained experience playing on both the left and right flanks, offering versatility in defense and attack.
Quenda’s impressive speed, which saw him record a top speed of 33.6 km/h in the Champions League, could be a valuable asset for United.
While signing Quenda could address United’s need for speed in wide areas, the team’s struggles against physically aggressive opponents highlight the need for reinforcements in midfield and defense.
With Harry Maguire’s long-term future uncertain due to his age and injury history, Amorim may need to prioritize a new center-back in the summer transfer market.
Transfer Priorities for Amorim
Given the numerous areas that require improvement, Amorim faces a daunting task in the summer transfer market.
With limited resources and a bloated squad, the Portuguese manager must carefully prioritize his transfer targets to ensure a successful 2025-26 campaign.
