Manchester United are ready to compete with Liverpool and Spanish giants Real Madrid for the signature of Sporting's highly-rated centre-back Goncalo Inacio in the New Year
Sporting defender Goncalo Inacio is still being courted by a host of European heavyweights ahead of the winter transfer window , including Manchester United .
Inacio's imperious form has not gone unnoticed overseas - particularly in the Premier League. Reports last month outlined that Liverpool had recently sent scouts to observe the youngster, but the Reds' bitter rivals are also admirers of the Sporting star. Prising Inacio away from Portugal will be no mean feat, though, given that Liverpool are not the only other club monitoring the defender's progress. La Liga giants Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on Inacio and have designs on luring him to the Bernabeu, while others are likely to be aware of his abilities.
Erik ten Hag has been working on plans to bolster his defence and initially included Inacio on a four-man shortlist consisting of the Sporting star, Jean-Clair Todibo, Antonio Silva and Edmond Tapsoba with a view to signing one of the quartet next summer.
