In a dramatic turn of events, the coach of an £80 million-rated star player has revealed that his close friendship with Ruben Amorim played a crucial role in influencing the player’s transfer decision. According to him, Liverpool initially made a move for the player, but due to his strong relationship with the soon-to-be Manchester United manager, he personally intervened and urged his player to reject Liverpool in favor of joining the Red Devils. This development indicates that Amorim, who is poised to take over managerial duties at Old Trafford, is already playing a key role in shaping the club’s summer transfer business, even before his appointment is officially confirmed.
Manchester United, currently undergoing a major rebuild, are prioritizing reinforcements in the attacking midfield department. This has become increasingly urgent due to the inconsistent availability of Mason Mount, who has struggled with injuries throughout the season. In addition to Mount’s issues, the futures of young midfielders Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho remain uncertain. There is speculation that both academy graduates could be sold in the upcoming transfer window to generate funds for the club’s recruitment efforts.
Meanwhile, experienced midfielder Christian Eriksen is no longer viewed as a long-term solution in midfield. His age and declining physical attributes have limited his effectiveness in a high-intensity role. As a result, the club has opted not to extend his contract, signaling a clear shift toward rejuvenating the squad with younger and more dynamic players.
With captain Bruno Fernandes thriving in a slightly deeper central midfield position, manager-in-waiting Ruben Amorim is reportedly eager to add another creative force to the team’s attacking setup. The goal is to bring in a playmaker who can operate in advanced areas and take on the creative burden in the final third of the pitch.
Furthermore, winger Amad Diallo, who is recovering from a long-term injury, could be forced to adapt to a new role in the squad. Reports suggest that Amorim might deploy him as a wing-back, which would further highlight the need for fresh attacking options. According to Teamtalk, Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze has emerged as a potential target for Manchester United. Eze, known for his flair, technical ability, and eye for goal, could offer the creative spark United are seeking in their push to re-establish themselves as title contenders in the Premier League.
