Ruben Amorim wants to attack a Lille player

The suspense ended in recent days. After deciding to dismiss Erik ten Hag who was in 14th place in the Premier League, Manchester United had made Ruben Amorim their priority. The Portuguese technician had done exceptional work with Sporting and therefore decided to leave his club in the middle of the season to join a team “who does not refuse”. He took advantage of the international break to make his mark while Ruud van Nistelrooy had taken over in a brilliant manner.

Erik ten Hag's assistant, who was not kept on Ruben Amorim's staff despite his desire to stay, won 3 of the 4 matches he played on the bench (1 draw). But it's ancient history now and the Mancunians have decided to give full powers to Amorim. Since his arrival, we have inevitably talked about the winter transfer window and rumors have been flying in particular about the arrival of Swedish goalkeeper Viktor Gyökeres. But the former Sporting coach, during his presentation, explained that he did not want to plunder his former club.

Angel Gomes seduced Ruben Amorim

This Wednesday evening, le Manchester Evening News surprised everyone by announcing that Ruben Amorim would have a budget of €30 million for the winter transfer window (not counting sales). But this small envelope will not prevent the club from being ambitious in the coming months. In this sense, the Daily Mail reveals that Ruben Amorim has already targeted a reinforcement for his midfielder. The young Portuguese coach has made Angel Gomes his priority in midfield. The English international from LOSC left Manchester United in 2020 (10 matches played).

At the age of 20, he is reaching the end of his contract at the end of the season and has still not extended. The Sun even explains that Manchester United's plan is clear: get him back free this summer to make him the replacement, numerically at least, for Casemiro. The Red Devils believe they can overtake the competition (Arsenal and Tottenham) since the player has never hidden his love for the club that saw him grow as a footballer and his desire to return there one day. It could be as early as this summer.
