Manchester United scouts have watched over Porto players Samu Aghehowa and Rodrigo Mora in recent weeks, sources have told CaughtOffside.
The Red Devils are thought to be eyeing a significant overhaul of their squad but are currently restricted on what they can do owing to spending limits under the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
Nevertheless, United are preparing for the long term and have identified the Porto youngsters as potential buys.

Aghehowa, who was the subject of the highly-publicised transfer saga involving Chelsea over the summer, moved to the Portuguese outfit just before the season started, arriving at the Estadio do Dragao for £12.5 million from Atletico Madrid.
The deal, which included a 50% sell-on clause and a £82 million release clause, has proved to be a shrewd piece of business – the striker has been on fire this campaign, with 18 goals and two assists in 21 matches.
Manchester United monitor new Bruno Fernandes
United are also keeping tabs on 17-year-old attacking midfielder Mora. The teenager is enjoying a fine breakout season under Vítor Bruno, with six goal contributions, including three goals, in seven Liga Portugal matches so far this season.
Mora, too, has a release clause inserted in his contract, worth around £55 million, but it’s not clear whether Porto would be open to letting him leave for less.
In terms of the January window, CaughtOffside sources have been informed that Antony and Christian Eriksen will be allowed to leave, with Real Betis thought to be keen on the former. As well, several Saudi Pro League clubs are keeping an eye on Casemiro’s situation, which could free up funds for January.
The club are hopeful of bolstering the left-wing-back role in the winter window, with Bournemouth’s Milos Kekez liked. There have also been conversations around Paris Saint-Germain defender Nuno Mendes, who United have tracked since 2021.
Scouting Report: Samu Aghehowa & the Next Bruno Fernandes
In the world of football scouting, there are few players who have garnered as much attention and praise as Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder has taken the footballing world by storm with his incredible vision, passing ability, and goal-scoring prowess.
But could there be a player who is poised to follow in his footsteps and become the next Bruno Fernandes? Many scouts believe that Nigerian midfielder Samu Aghehowa could be that player.
Aghehowa, who currently plays for a top club in Nigeria, has been turning heads with his impressive performances on the pitch. Like Fernandes, he possesses excellent vision and passing ability, as well as a keen eye for goal.
But what sets Aghehowa apart from other young talents is his work rate and determination. He is known for his tireless running and willingness to track back and help out defensively, traits that are often associated with top midfielders like Fernandes.
Scouts have also been impressed with Aghehowa’s ability to dictate the tempo of a game and his composure under pressure. He has a knack for making the right decisions in key moments and has shown a maturity beyond his years.
While it remains to be seen if Aghehowa can reach the same heights as Bruno Fernandes, there is no denying that he is a player with immense potential. Keep an eye out for this rising star as he continues to make a name for himself in the world of football.
