The recent arrival of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United promised that the English team would finally return to the difficult sporting and institutional situation it is currently facing. It's no wonder: the 'Old Trafford' fans placed all their trust in the Portuguese coach after his impeccable work on the bench of Sporting Lisbon. However, things are not going as expected, and Amorim is the first to notice that his team must undergo certain modifications.
In that sense, Manchester United is determined to strengthen one of its weakest points for the next season: the defense. A few months have been enough for Amorim to decide to reinforce that backline, and in fact, he has already conveyed his requests to the higher-ups of the English team. On the Portuguese coach's list is a player from Barça who could solve all the financial problems of the Catalan club.
Manchester United's Offensive
For Ruben Amorim, securing the addition of this important piece from FC Barcelona is crucial for his sports planning for the next campaign. Such is the urgency that the coach has already contacted Barça's sports management directly to express his interest and present a formal offer as soon as possible. In fact, those in Manchester are convinced that the proposal they plan to send to Deco and company is good enough to convince them.
According to the latest information circulating around Barça, Manchester United is willing to put up a figure close to 15 million euros for this star. A sale on those terms would mean a significant financial injection for the Catalan club, which needs liquidity to tackle important signings in the upcoming summer transfer market. Meanwhile, it is expected that contacts between both clubs will continue in the coming days to close the deal.
Packing Bags
Over the last few seasons, Manchester United has set its sights on Barça players on more than one occasion. And this time, it is Andreas Christensen who interests Ruben Amorim. Since Hansi Flick took over as coach of FC Barcelona, the Danish center-back hasn't enjoyed prominence due to his physical problems and now it will be difficult for him to earn a place.
In that sense, Christensen's experience in the Premier League as well as his defensive reliability make him a priority target for Amorim. Meanwhile, at Barça, the possible departure of the Dane is not ruled out: Flick has enough alternatives in defense, thus facilitating any operation.
