Manchester Rivals Battle for Sporting Star Trincão

Francisco Trincão could be heading to Manchester this summer—but will it be the red or blue half of the city?

Both Manchester City and Manchester United have expressed interest in signing the Portuguese winger, who has been in fine form for Sporting CP this season. Trincão has registered 8 goals and 10 assists in 23 league appearances, making him one of the standout performers in the Primeira Liga.

Sporting remains hopeful of securing a contract extension for the 25-year-old, but there is a growing expectation that he could leave Lisbon in the upcoming transfer window.

Unlike his teammate Viktor Gyökeres, who has been linked with a big-money move, Trincão’s market value remains relatively modest. According to Transfermarkt, the winger is currently valued at €27 million, making him an attractive target for both Manchester clubs.
