Manu Silva impresses and sends a wink to Benfica | OneFootball

Manu Silva is getting closer to returning to competition. The young footballer has recovered from his injury and hopes to soon be back on the field wearing the Sacred Mantle of Benfica. With an increasingly frequent presence in José Mourinho's training sessions, the midfielder is 'winking' at a future opportunity.

Integrated into the Special One's training sessions, after suffering a serious injury at the beginning of this year, just three games after debuting for the eagles, the former Vitória Guimarães footballer could make a difference in José Mourinho's options for the upcoming commitments of the reds and whites.

Although there is still no set date for his return to competition, with various sources pointing to December or January, certainly Manu Silva has some expectations of getting his first minutes in the 2025/26 season in the match on Friday, November 21, in the visit to Atlético CP.

Remember that the Friday duel, scheduled for 19:45, will feature refereeing by Fábio Veríssimo. The referee, who was recently involved in the controversial game between Porto and Braga, is the judge appointed by the FPF to officiate the fourth-round match of the Taça de Portugal.

Manu Silva - currently valued at 10 million euros - is getting closer to being another option for Benfica. Last season, after being signed from Vitória Guimarães for 12 million euros, the young footballer only played three matches with the Glorious jersey.
