DONE DEAL: Manchester United signs £102-rated South American tricky attacker, set to announce the deal soon as players bids farewell to Old club
Manchester United conceded 54 goals in the Premier League last term and ended the campaign with a goal difference of negative 10.
Now, reports indicate that Amorim is looking to sign a center back from his former team to reinforce things at the back.
As per today’s edition of A Bola (news image provided below), Man Utd, Arsenal Liverpool and Bayern Munich have not lost sight of Ousmane Diomande, who could leave Sporting CP in the summer transfer window.
The Portuguese media outlet have mentioned that the interested clubs could soon put forward offers in the next few days to win the race. Crystal Palace want the Ivorian to replace Newcastle United bound, Marc Guehi.
As far as the asking fee is concerned, A Bola claim that the Liga Nos champions will not take a penny less than 60 million euros (£50.5million) to sell their prized asset.
Situation at Old Trafford:
Under the guidance of former boss, Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils splashed ample amount of cash to reinforce the central defense.
Lisandro Martinez arrived from Ajax, Matthis de Ligt was lured from Bayern Munich, and a huge amount was paid to get Leny Yoro from Lille.
Not to forget, the 20-time English champions already had experienced players like Maguire, Evans and Lindelof. Still, United were inconsistent at the back and even Amorim was unable to sort things out.
So, now, he is looking to sign one of his own stars in the form of Diomande. The 21-year-old has won back to back league titles in Portugal.
He made 31 out of 34 league appearances last term, scored two goals, provided an assist and more importantly, helped the team keep fourteen clean sheets.
