Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Manchester United will be active in the January transfer window, with the club looking to bolster their attacking options. The manager has expressed a strong desire to sign new players to improve the team’s fortunes, amidst concerns over a potential relegation battle following a series of poor results.
Amorim, who has faced pressure after a challenging start to the season, has received the green light to make key signings, with the club ready to spend. One player high on his list of targets is Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen. According to Amorim, Manchester United is keen to secure more firepower to avoid further struggles.
“I will keep the plan to myself, but we will try to do something,” Amorim said in an interview, hinting at a potential deal without revealing full details. Osimhen, who has been in excellent form, is reportedly part of a £60 million swap deal involving United’s Marcus Rashford, who has been out of favor under Amorim’s regime.
The manager also mentioned Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon as a potential recruit, with a future move likely. Sporting’s Gyokeres has a release clause that drops to £63 million at the end of the season, but Amorim is reportedly keen to wait until the summer to make a move, unless a significant offer is made.
Amorim’s primary focus is on addressing Manchester United’s goal-scoring woes, with the team having struggled in recent games, including losses in their last three Premier League fixtures. The manager emphasized the importance of a strong start against rivals Liverpool in their upcoming match, acknowledging the need to turn their season around quickly.
With a growing need for reinforcement, the January transfer window could prove pivotal in shaping the remainder of United’s campaign as Amorim aims to rescue the club from a crisis.
