I think when he was coming through the ranks the concern was does he have the pace to be a really good full back. There is no denying his technical ability so I think that’s a big tick in favour of him but yeah would he interesting to see if he could keep up with the physical demands of an Amorim system. I’m inclined to say at a small release clause he’s probably worth it and it could reap great rewards.
 
I think it would be wise to leave him at Benfica for the rest of the season.

If our interest is genuine and we seriously consider him a first choice left wing back option then no point in waiting in my opinion.

He could continue to impress at Benfica and a whole host of clubs could be in for him. If we left it until the summer and Madrid/Barca came sniffing around, he might be more inclined to reject us and sign elsewhere.

He can’t really reject us that’s the beauty of the buy back.

If those clubs came Utd can buy him back then sell him straight on for double what we’ve paid.

I think carrying on playing in a champions league side fighting at the top of their league will do him good.

Ah wasn’t aware of that little nugget! Thought the player still had a choice.

In that case yeah maybe the rest of the season at Benfica would be beneficial. Although our need at LWB is pretty pressing so that expedite the buy back if we really want him.

That’s how they’re setup most of the time. Utd also have a sell on clause from memory so they were quite well protected.

Just think rushing him back in to play a load of meaningless league games might be a mistake. Also, doubt we have the money in this seasons budget.
 
He can reject us. The buy back clause doesn't hinder the player refusing us.

It would be against the law to not allow him the option.

Don’t they normally have things written into the contracts where there’s a pre-agreed contract should they return?

If the player doesn’t want to return what normally happens is the buying club does a deal with you to take him straight away after you buy him back.
