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 might make a difference in José Mourinho's options for the upcoming commitments of the reds and whites.

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

It should be noted 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 Portuguese Cup.

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