Erik Ten HAG has already shown the followers of Manchester United the pitfalls of recruiting the former employers of their manager.
The Dutch was regularly based on those with whom he worked at Ajax, and convinced the United Hierarchy to sign his old mentees from Amsterdam. The results were mostly overwhelming – 82 million pounds for Antony proved to be particularly bloody – but maybe Ruben can be very lucky.
The former head coach of Sporting CP was advertised with the signing of a number of players that he cultivated in Lisbon. Transfer links that only intensify in the coming summer window should only intensify. There are some top -class names in the Estadio Jose Alvalade who are worth becoming in Old Trafford next season.
Here are four that could thrive for the Red Devils.
United has signed a wealth of central defenders in recent years, but only a few have been able to exploit their potential. You immersed the market for Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt last summer – the latter has another ex -Ajax star who worked with ten HAG – but did not find a life in England.
Since Amorim sticks to his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation in Old Trafford, the importance of the right profile of Center-Back cannot be overestimated. Perhaps Goncalo Inacio could relieve United’s defensive problems.
The sporting defender rose under the guidance of Amorim on the left of the third back master. The mighty and fast 23-year-old has now collected over 200 appearances for the reigning Portuguese champions and consequently mass interest of Europe’s elite and imposed in an impact.
United was even associated with the versatile left footrest, which shows a highest attack threat and excellent defensive attributes. On average, one goal that attacks about all ten games for sporty games is another string on his bow.
A price of around € 45 million (£ 37.6 million) seems to be completely sensible for the talented 14-cap portugal International, which could be a transformative figure at Amorim’s United Setup.
Morten Hjulmand announced itself in a certain style last summer. The Denmark International has created a long -term efforts against Gareth Southgates three lions at Euro 2024, but it is not only the strange Thunderbolt who admired it all over the continent.
The 25-year-old was signed by Lecce at the beginning of last season and quickly established himself as an integral gear on the way to the Primera league title for Sport. He made 49 appearances in all competitions and even appeared with four goals and three templates – a balance that he is close this season.
Hjulmand’s conspicuous mobility made it possible for him to thrive in the two-man midfield, the Amorim preferred, with the Scandinavian box-to-boxer impressive technical attributes with an suitability for switching off opposition attacks. He also keeps the possession well by withdrawing the press competently – in the top 23% of the midfielder for successful income and fouls in the Champions League this season.
The midfield was a problem area for United throughout the campaign and urgently need someone who is able to fulfill Amorim’s letter in the engine compartment. Hjulmand could be this man.
It seemed that Trincao’s chance of elite had passed. The tricky winger made a quick ascent in Braga – where he worked with Amorim – and then made a move to Barcelona in 2020. However, a similarly uninspiring loan magic with Wolverhampton Wanderers followed on a tame debut season in Catalonia.
Sporting took a chance to reunite with Amorim and followed a permanent deal with Amorim and followed an immensely successful loan magic at the beginning of last season. He has achieved over 15 goals and templates every season with the Lisbon Giants and his dazzling appearances naturally attracted attention.
United was strongly connected to the signing of the 25-year-old, but may have to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United with his services. However, you have the Amorim advantage and probably give you the upper hand in every deal.
The Red Devils urgently need to attack reinforcements because they could lose Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony against constant offers this summer. Trincao’s work morality and flair make it an excellent replacement for the failure of United.
There was no area of United’s expensive squad that is not underwhelmed this season, but it is the number 9 department that has often received most reviews. While you fought for the service, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have to take responsibility for consistently below average services.
Although United Big spoke in the last windows for the failure duo, he could go into the market this summer – although this is anything but guaranteed. When decision -makers become a shiny new center forward green, the Viktor Gyokoker is high on the wish list.
Amorim transformed the Swedish international during her assembly in sports into a striker seized worldwide. During his debut season in Lisbon, Gyokoker scored 43 goals in 50 games. This year he has already injured the 40 brand again.
The Scandi Colossus has proven its login information in Portugal and on the continent in the Champions League, whereby its powerful and sporty framework corresponds to a thundering right boot and incredible attacking intelligence. He is the entire package and is already used to the exams and difficulties of English football after stays with Brighton & Hove Albion and Coventry City.
So its immense quality is, Gyocokers could almost alone change United’s attacking game.
