Arrived during the season from Sporting, Rúben Amorim had the heavy task of straightening Manchester United after the failed passage of Erik Ten Hag. But the Portuguese technician, like his predecessor, broke his teeth and has never managed to relaunch the machine this season. More than 8 months after his arrival, his assessment is more than disappointing with a 14th place in the Premier League ranking and a record far below the standards (13 victories, 9 draws, 13 defeats).
Now, his only chance to save his season is to win the Europa League, while the Mancunians face Bilbao during the semi-finals. This would notably allow you to qualify for the C1 next season. But however, despite results not up to it, the management of the English club has decided to trust the Portuguese coach and leave him time. Better still, Ruben Amorim will be able to rebuild his workforce with several recruits this summer and will have an interesting envelope.
Ruben AMORIM SHOWS A Post
In this sense, as revealed by the English press for several months, the priority remains the number 9 position. With a Rasmus Hojlund which displays a disappointing assessment (9 goals this season) just like Zirkzee (7 goals), the priority is to recruit a new scorer. And the target seems to be Viktor Gyökeres, who crushes everything in his path with Sporting. The Swedish striker, author of 52 goals in 48 games with the Portuguese club will be the attraction of the summer transfer window. Inevitably, after having known Ruben Amorim in the past, his name insistently returns to the Red Devils. This Wednesday evening, at a press conference, Amorim mentioned the track leading to the scorer.
In recent hours, the Portuguese press revealed that it was a very serious option for United provided that the club qualified in the Champions League and therefore won the C3. Information that did not like at all with Amorim which estimated that if the player fixes conditions to join the club, he has nothing to do in the workforce. “I didn't tell him. But if he only wants to come to Manchester United to play the Champions League, then he will not come. We want players who want to represent United, not players who want to play certain competitions. »» The message has passed for the one who has a starting clause around 80 million euros according to A bola. But the competition is tough in this file with Arsenal which is also very convincing.
