The report adds that the Portuguese manager has identified Diomande, 21, who he managed at Sporting, as his preferred option.
Man United would have to pay a fee of €50million for the Ivory Coast international, however, as they seek to build a squad capable of challenging for titles.
Diomande has established himself as a key player for Sporting, and one of the most exciting defensive prospects in Europe, although injuries have hampered his 2025-26 season so far.
