Ruben Amorim reportedly wants Manchester United to sign 33-year-old former Manchester City defender Danilo from Juventus.
Danilo currently plays for Juventus, and a report from Italian outlet Juve Live has claimed that newly-appointed Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim wants to bring the 33-year-old versatile defender back to the Premier League.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United launch a move for the Brazilian international in the coming weeks. He could prove to be a useful squad player for Manchester United. However, the Red Devils should be aiming higher if they want to compete with Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
Danilo is 33, and he is unlikely to get better with coaching and experience. The veteran defender is in the twilight stages of his career, and it will be interesting to see whether he is open to joining the Red Devils.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the country, and the Brazilian international could be tempted to join them if there is a lucrative proposal ahead of him. This would be his final opportunity to join a big club.
The 33-year-old has played in the Premier League before with Manchester United, and he has won the Premier League title twice. His ability, experience, and winning mentality could prove to be invaluable additions to the Manchester United dressing room.
Amorim wants defensive additions
It seems that Ruben Amorim wants to improve the defensive unit at Old Trafford. So, the incoming Manchester United manager is contemplating a move for the 33-year-old. Danilo is capable of operating as a full-back as well as a central defender. His versatility will be an asset for Manchester United if they can get the deal across the line.
The Brazilian will be a free agent next summer, and Juventus might be open to selling him for a reasonable amount of money in January. It would not make sense for the Italian club to hold onto him and then lose him as a free agent in the summer of 2025. Selling him in January would be ideal for all parties. Manchester United will be able to sign the player for a nominal price as well.
