Manchester United Looking To Sign Young Benfica Star Likened To Bruno Fernandes

The rich history of Manchester United has seen great players don the colors of Old Trafford’s most prestigious football club. The team is constantly searching for world-class players, with speculation of the young Benfica star Florentino Luis as their newest prospect.

Just earlier this year, Manchester United signed Fernandes to a five-and-a-half-year contract. Adding the duo of Fernandes and Luis can be a good sign for the Red Devils in the years to come.

The potential of the two is immense given how they can complement each other. Having Luis in the team gives Manchester United a defensive midfielder who possesses great athleticism coupled with a developing technical skillset. Given that he is only 19-years-old, there’s still a lot of room for growth for the Portuguese star.

This is a big boost for the club considering Fernandes has an all-around game on the field. The passing, ball control and overall aggressiveness he has are an asset any club would benefit much from.

Per Red Devil Armada, Luis is highly rated and could be an ideal replacement for Nemanja Matic whose contract is bound to expire in 2021.

If the deal pushes through then Manchester United would have a formidable duo that sets them up well in the near future. While it’s important to note that Luis has had his share of injuries, the talent and ceiling he posses are too high to let go. Nicknamed the Octopus, Luis has a lot to offer for any team with how the defensive capabilities he holds on the pitch.

It will be interesting to see how Manchester United will move towards improving their roster even more. The promise of Luis is high and would benefit from playing alongside players such as Fernandes on the field.
