Manchester United face increased competition for Sporting Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio.

Spanish outlet Defensa Central reports that Liverpool and Real Madrid are keen on signing the centre-back.

While Inacio recently committed to a new contract with Sporting Lisbon, it includes a release clause valued at €60 million.

The 22-year-old has developed into a key player for Sporting Lisbon and reports have suggested that Manchester United have deployed a scout to keep an eye on the Portugal international.

Reports suggest that Sporting are keen to keep Inacio at the club, but they usually sell one of their top player’s annually for financial stability.
