Sporting 4-1 City: Man Utd's Ruben in Line for a Big Chance
Man United fans are buzzing after a wild night in Lisbon, where Sporting CP absolutely smashed Manchester City 4-1.
The result was a huge shock, and it's got everyone talking about one player in particular: Ruben Dias. The Portuguese defender had a nightmare game, and many are asking if this is a sign that he's on his way out of the Etihad.
It's no secret that Ten Hag's looking for defensive reinforcements at Old Trafford. The Dutch manager has already brought in Martinez and Onana this summer, but he's still keen to add a world-class center-back to his ranks.
Could Ruben Dias be the answer? The 25-year-old is undoubtedly talented and has a proven track record in the Premier League. But, with City now facing a serious challenge in their pursuit of Champions League glory, things are looking a bit shaky for the Portuguese defender.
This could be a golden opportunity for United. They need someone who can boss the back line, and Dias has the experience and quality to do just that.
Of course, it's early days and nothing is confirmed yet. But the whispers are growing louder, and the Red Devils faithful are already dreaming of a Dias-led defense at Old Trafford.
It'll be interesting to see how this develops in the coming weeks. If United do manage to land Dias, it would be a huge coup and a serious statement of intent.
One thing's for sure, this transfer saga is just getting started.
