Four players in the team “don’t interest him,” according to Ruben Amorim, who has already told Manchester United that they will be up for sale in January. After Erik ten Hag was fired on Monday, Amorim appears to be the next manager of United. The Red Devils have informed Sporting Lisbon that they are prepared to pay the Portuguese manager’s £8.3 million release clause.
They would like to have him in place before the match against Chelsea, but that might not be achievable until talks reach a consensus. There are also other issues with his backroom personnel that need to be settled. In any event, it seems that Amorim has already expressed his opinions to the United managers over the team’s current situation. Amorim “has already informed Man Utd’s board” of the three players he wants, according to a report on Tuesday. The 47-year-old is reportedly “keen” on bringing Sporting centre-back Goncalo Inacio to Old Trafford.
Marcus Edwards, a former Tottenham winger, is the second name on Amorim’s list. Viktor Gyokeres, who is in high demand, is the third player predicted to follow him to United. As Sir Jim Ratcliffe seeks “young talents,” a different rumour stated that Amorim truly wants 17-year-old winger Geovany Quenda. TEAMtalk has now disclosed that the new manager has chosen which players to cut from the team to make room for the newcomers.
According to the report:
According to sources who spoke to TEAMtalk, Amorim has already started talking to the Man Utd board about his transfer ambitions. We are aware that he is prepared to sell in January and that four players “don’t interest him.” We are aware that Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen are not included in Amorim’s long-term goals. The management has no intention of offering the two players extensions because their contracts expire at the end of the current campaign. Amorim is also prepared to let go of Antony and Casemiro, who have descended in the hierarchy. The board of Manchester United agrees that each player’s performance does not accurately represent their pay.
According to the report, it will be challenging to sell any of the four players during the winter transfer season.
In January, Amorim is pleased to sell Lindelof and Eriksen. However, it’s improbable that any club will pay for them because of their contract situations, and their departure on free transfers next summer is the most likely scenario. Regarding Casemiro and Antony, Manchester United is prepared to sell both players
winter for about £25 million, but it will be challenging to find buyers for them because of their hefty salaries. At Old Trafford, Casemiro makes £350,000 a week, while Antony makes £200,000. Since no club has yet to offer to match each player’s current wage, Man Utd is having trouble selling them.
