Ex-Wolves Target Manu Silva Suffers Devastating Injury Blow After Benfica Move
During the January transfer window, Wolves were eager to secure the signing of highly-rated midfielder Manu Silva. At the time, the 23-year-old was impressing at Vitória de Guimarães, and reports from Portugal even suggested he was on the verge of a move to Molineux. However, Silva ultimately chose Benfica, drawn by the prospect of playing Champions League football.
Now, just a few months into his spell with the Portuguese giants, the midfielder has suffered a major setback. Making only his third league appearance for Benfica against Moreirense, Silva was forced off in the 37th minute due to injury. According to **A Bola**, the worst fears have been confirmed—Silva has sustained an ACL injury in his left knee.
Sports medicine specialist Artur Pereira de Castro has indicated that the young midfielder is unlikely to return to action before the 2025/26 season, meaning he will also miss Benfica’s pre-season preparations.
It’s a cruel twist of fate for Silva, who had been making strides in his career following Wolves’ interest and his high-profile move to Benfica.
