[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Manchester United continues to send scouts to observe players like Porto forward Samu Omorodion. Reports indicate that United sent scouts last week to watch the match between Sporting Lisbon and Arsenal, focusing on Viktor Gyokeres. This week, scouts are busy gathering information on Francisco Moura and Omorodion, having been dispatched to observe Porto’s game against Casa Pia, managed by Ruben Amorim. Left-back and forward have been problematic positions for Manchester United, and Omorodion troubled United’s defense in the 3-3 Europa League match earlier this season, scoring twice. The 20-year-old has netted 9 goals in 9 Primeira Liga matches this season. This summer, Omorodion was very close to joining Chelsea for £35 million. While it’s unlikely that United will make significant signings in January, the information gathered over these weeks is crucial, as Amorim hopes the club will be prepared to recruit top players when funding is available, especially from the Primeira Liga, which he knows well.
