Ruben Amorim eyes January move for Sporting star | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim is interested in Zeno Debast and Manchester United could make a move for the centre-back in the next transfer window, in January 2026. The Portuguese coach has been at Alvalade for almost five years, but is now looking to solve some problems at Old Trafford, and is turning to some players he knows very well. The centre-back recently spoke about his time with Amorim at Alvalade.

The information is provided by the English portal GiveMeSport. Reports from the UK suggest that Manchester United has Zeno Debast on their radar, and is ready to make a move for the signing, should Ruben Amorim want a versatile centre-back, who can also play as a defensive midfielder.

Ruben Amorim has even asked Manchester United to send scouts to Alvalade, to monitor the progress and situation of the Sporting player. The Portuguese coach would also be willing to have a meeting with the Belgian centre-back that the lions signed when the Portuguese was still coaching the lions.

However, the deal does not look easy at all. Sporting has Zeno Debast under contract, and is not at all obliged to sell. In addition to this, the lions have put a clause of 80 million euros on the young centre-back, who arrived from Anderlecht in the summer of 2024, for 17.5 million euros.

This may not be a deterrent for Manchester United. The Red Devils are mainly concerned with the weekly wage, and Zeno Debast, who earns about 20,000 euros per week, is an attractive target for the club that has been striving to reduce the wage bill in recent months.
