For all the ‘excitement’ around new signings at the Theater of Dreams, it’s often the youngsters who make the biggest offers, and recent years have been littered with notable academy success stories, be it Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and now Toby Collyer.

The obsession with further reinforcements remains, but promotion from within can be particularly fruitful, and 17-year-old Bendito Mantato may be one of the next to emerge from the Carrington conveyor belts.

While his age may be something of a stumbling block to earning first-team minutes, the versatile teenager is destined to earn a role in Amorim’s side in the near future, with the said Mattinson Comparing Mantato to Sportins’ 17-year-old wonderkid, Geovany Quenda, who blossomed under Amorim in Lisbon.
