Man Utd linked with move for two Euro 2024 stars in huge double transfer
Manchester United have been linked with two stars of Euro 2024 after the summer transfer window opened.
United parted company with eight players earlier this month and Erik ten Hag will be looking for new additions after Sir Jim Ratcliffe elected to keep him at the helm.
And Portuguese outlet A Bola, via Sport Witness, claim United are interested in two Sporting CP players who have featured at the tournament in Germany.

Morten Hjulmand's stock has risen after a superb strike to equalise for Denmark against England on Thursday.
The midfielder fired a unstoppable effort past Jordan Pickford in the first half, capping off a fine display.
Hjulmand, who has an Arsenal tattoo only joined Sporting in the summer of 2023 for a fee of €18 million but helped the Lisbon outfit win the Primeira Liga in his first season and was named in the Team of the Year in Portugal.
He has been linked with United before and the Red Devils are still believed to be keeping tabs.
However, the 24-year-old is extremely well thought of at Sporting and seen as one of the "untouchables" at the club.
Any team wanting to bring him in will have to fork out €80 million for his services as that is the release clause in his contract.
But it's also claimed that United could make a move for his teammate Goncalo Inacio, who is part of Portugal's squad for the showpiece in Germany.
The 22-year-old centre-back came off the bench in the late comeback win over the Czech Republic on Tuesday.
He also has a release clause to the tune of €60 million and it's said United are "prepared to advance" for him.
United are desperate for a new central defender, with Jarrad Branthwaite and Leny Yoro also targets.
