Five Players Ruben Amorim Will Likely Sign for Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has landed in Manchester and is ready to take charge of the Red Devils. The 39-year-old Portuguese has his style of play, and there is a high likelihood that he will need players that will suit into some positions in the coming transfer windows. While he has already assured the public that he won’t touch any Sporting Lisbon player in the January transfer market, he didn’t dispute future trade. 

Below are Manchester United's special bets and some players that may likely wear United’s red and white jersey soon.

Viktor Gyokeres's performance this season has not gone unnoticed. His performance in the league and in the Champions League has been crucial for Amorim and Sporting. He has scored 27 goals in 20 games this season. Reports say he will be allowed to leave for 63 million pounds in the summer, despite his 83 million pounds release clause. So, despite interest from Barcelona, Chelsea, and Arsenal, Gyokeres may likely join his former boss at Old Trafford.

Since Bayern Leverkusen's title-winning season, Frimpong has been great under Xabi Alonso. He scored nine goals and seven assists in 31 league matches last season and has already contributed six goals this season. Jeremie has a €48.2m market value and will be a steal in Amorim's style.

Another player on Amorim's radar is Rafael Leao. The Portuguese has been consistent for AC Milan over the years, and Manchester United might be his next destination. Manchester United have been home to great Portuguese players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Bruno Fernandes, and even Diogo Dalot. He is currently valued at €75.5m.

Since joining Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes has been under a heavy load, and it seems there is no backup for him in the team. Despite the signing of Mason Mount, the gap is still very much visible. So, the signing of Nicolo Barella will give Manchester United another option in the middle.

Reuben Amorim is known for his distinct style of playing three defenders at the back. Although Manchester United currently have many defenders in the squad, there is a high possibility that some of them will be offloaded in the summer to make room for new faces, and some new faces could include Alessandro Buongiornoa.
