In recent comments, Bernardo Silva, a star player for Manchester City, remarked on the missed opportunity for Manchester United to recruit Geovany Quenda, a promising right winger previously linked to the club. The transfer rumors intensified after the switch of Ruben Amorim to the Premier League, which put Quenda in the spotlight. Silva believes that Quenda, who has shown impressive form with 24 goal contributions in 66 appearances for Sporting CP, has the potential to thrive in the Portugal national team as his successor.

Last February, it was reported that Manchester United had verbally agreed on personal terms with the 19-year-old before the summer transfer window, highlighting the player's rising profile among top clubs. While United's interest was notably evident, Manchester City and Liverpool were also tracking Quenda's development, indicating widespread recognition of his talent within the Premier League.

The implications of these missed transfer opportunities are significant for Manchester United as they continue to build their squad. Failing to secure emerging stars like Quenda could hinder their competitiveness in both domestic and European competitions, especially as rivals continue to bolster their squads with promising young talent. Silva's praise for Quenda further adds pressure on United to act in future transfer windows, as the demand for top-tier talents in football continues to escalate.
