Rasmus Højlund struck twice to give Napoli a 2-1 victory over Sporting in their Champions League clash at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Højlund, on loan from Manchester United, pounced in each half with Kevin De Bruyne the provider on both occasions as the former Premier League foes combined beautifully to dispatch spirited opponents. A Luis Suárez penalty catapulted Sporting back into contention and they also had chances to snatch a point in an action-packed climax to the game.

Man United are hoping to make several signings before the end of the summer transfer window, particularly focusing on improving Ruben Amorim's defensive options.

Eric Dier, despite his solid reputation at Bayern Munich, preferred to join Sporting CP, a club where he began his career, before moving to AS Monaco.
