As the international break comes to an end, all eyes are on Manchester United and their new manager, Ruben Amorim, as he prepares for his first match in charge against Ipswich Town. The Portuguese coach has only a few days to get his team ready, but he’s already making moves in the transfer market.
Amorim’s Transfer Targets: Goretzka and Pulisic
Ruben Amorim has reportedly set his sights on strengthening the midfield with a move for Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka. The German international’s contract expires at the end of the season, and United are keeping an eye on his situation. Meanwhile, Amorim is also looking to bolster United’s attacking options and is said to be keen on AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic, who could be an upgrade on Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.
Gyokeres and the Striker Situation
While Amorim looks to improve his squad, speculation surrounding Viktor Gyokeres’ potential move to United has been dismissed by the striker himself. Gyokeres, currently playing for Sporting, has stated that he is focused on finishing the season at his current club and isn’t considering a move to Old Trafford at this time.
Rashford’s Call to Step Up
As Amorim begins his tenure, former United striker Teddy Sheringham has urged Marcus Rashford to take on more leadership responsibilities. Sheringham believes that Rashford should lead by example and inspire the younger players around him, particularly with the club’s new tactical direction under Amorim.
