Posted on by

Manchester United struggles continue this season as they played out another unaspiring goalless draw against Az Alkmaar.

The outcome of the match and an uninspiring performance by both Az Alkmaar and Manchester United could also be attributed to the state of the pitch.

Correia had been an eighteen-year-old forwards but he could play at the Right Wing, too. He had primarily played under Sporting Lisbon under-19 and also a few runs outs for under-19 team of Portuguese. Irrespective of the lack of action, he had some buzz around him in 2018.

The 7 goals which he had scored in Portugal in twenty games for the Sporting Under-19 had brought him into the limelight. This garnered the attention of the biggest club in Europe. He was being scouted by Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund. Juventus, Barcelona, and Manchester City had been lingering to make a new bid.

Joao Felix is already having an impact on Atletico Madrid since the time he has been signed in summer and there is a lot of hope regarding Correia’s future development.
