Manchester United are reportedly set to appoint Ruben Amorim as the club’s next manager, and they might raid Sporting CP soon.
Manchester United have already parted ways with Erik ten Hag, and they have decided to exercise the release clause in Amorim’s contract. According to a report by Give Me Sport, the Red Devils could now raid Sporting CP to reunite the 39-year-old manager with some of his former players at Old Trafford.
A Sporting CP raid beckons?
The report states that Manchester United could move for Viktor Gyokeres, Goncalo Inacio, Morten Hjulmand, and Geovany Quenda. Gyokeres is one of the best strikers in the world right now, and the Swedish international could transform Manchester United in the final third.
It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils can get the deal done. They need a quality striker, especially with the way Joshua Zirkzee has performed so far this season. The former Bologna star has not been able to adapt to the Premier League so far, and he is struggling to score goals consistently. Manchester United could certainly use another quality striker.
The Red Devils will need more depth at the back as well, and Goncalo Inacio could be the ideal replacement for Harry Maguire. The England international is no longer a key player for the club, and he has been linked with an exit in recent weeks. Inacio is capable of operating as a central defender as well as a left-back. He could be a superb long-term investment for Manchester United.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils need defensive cover and physicality in the middle of the park as well, and Denmark international Morten Hjulmand would be the ideal acquisition. The Dane has proven himself in Portugal, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League. He could form a solid partnership with Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte.
Manchester United are lacking in depth in the wide attacking areas as well, and Geovany Quenda would be a superb addition. However, Manchester United will likely face stiff competition from other Premier League bigwigs for the Portuguese attacking sensation.
