Ricardo Mangas
MON
Extends assist streak
Mangas assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Parma.
Analysis: Mangas registered one assist, two crosses, two chances created, two tackles won and one interception across his 90 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Parma, delivering the precise cross in the closing stages that Michael Folorunsho headed toward goal. The Portuguese left-back is in his third consecutive start and has now delivered an assist in back-to-back appearances, with his combination of defensive solidity and creative output from the left side making him one of the more consistent performers in Monza's early-season lineup.
Provides assist in defeat
Mangas assisted once to go with seven crosses (three accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Udinese.
Analysis: Mangas put a ball into the box for Andrea Colpani to level the scoring in the 37th minute of the weekend's duel. The wing-back took advantage of his opportunities to push forward, finishing with game-high totals in crosses and chances created. The assist was his first goal involvement after two games played in the 2026/27 campaign. He'll retain attacking upside if he stays put on the left flank in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with most of his output coming from creative stats given that his team can't be trusted for clean sheets in its current form.
Joins Monza
Mangas is headed to Monza on a season-long loan with a conditional obligation to buy from Sporting CP.
Analysis: Mangas had a rotational role in Portugal and featured in 25 tilts last season, notching two goals and two assists. He previously spent time at Spartak Moscow and Vitoria Guimaraes. He'll be in contention to replace former starter Paulo Azzi, who already returned to Serie B, on the left wing.
