Jose Mourinho has looked to invest in Manchester United's youth set-up
Manchester United have revamped their academy since Jose Mourinho took charge of the club last season.
The Red Devils have invested heavily in youth over the summer, adding the likes of Largie Ramazani and Aliou Badara Traore to their ranks.
And 19-year-old Oliveirense striker Bruno Amorim is reportedly the next young talent heading to Old Trafford.
“He had been promoted to the main squad but [United’s] scout was alert and decided to take him there,” director Antonio Jose Leite told Portuguese outlet Noticias ao Minuto.

“At this time the business is 90 per cent done and he may have an excellent contract ahead.
“The contract will shortly be announced, but he is a future bet at United.”
Amorim will reportedly link up with United’s Under-23s who are managed by Class of 92 legend Nicky Butt.
He made seven appearances for Oliveirense in the Portuguese second tier last term where he caught the eye of United scouts.
And it seems the Red Devils may have snapped up the teenager on a cut-price deal, according to director Leite.
“We’ll receive training rights because he’s always been trained here, although in monetary terms it may not be more than that,” Leite added.
“These details are not yet defined.
“But the training rights and future sales of the player are guaranteed gains.”
