Ruben Amorim will soon take up his position as head coach of Man United, and there’s one monster of a player that he wants alongside him at Old Trafford

The 39-year-old Portuguese will realize that he must have an immediate impact in his new position and that he must assemble the best playing staff to support those already employed by the Premier League powerhouses.

Ousmane Diomande is being pursued by Ruben Amorim to join Manchester United.

The Red Devils have been struggling defensively for some time now, whether it’s due to a lack of form or a slew of injuries to players like Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, and Leny Yoro, among others.

Amorim will obviously need to focus on that area of the field right away, especially since it’s known that he likes to play in a back three.

The report suggests the Portuguese table-toppers would only be willing to do business if the 20-year-old’s £70m release clause is met.

That could become cheap at the price given that football analyst, Ben Mattinson, believes the player could become ‘a monster in no time.’

In order for Amorim to have a chance at landing the player, there will almost certainly need to be a clear out, and the likes of Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans might well be under pressure from the get go.

Certainly in Maguire’s case, with respect, he doesn’t have the pace or the skillset that would appeal to Amorim, who is expected to bring a much more dynamic and fast-paced game to the club.
