Ruben Amorim eyeing “special talent” in £90m-rated Liverpool target to improve Man United’s goalscoring in January -Report

Despite having the better openings, Manchester United lost two points on Sunday due to their carelessness in front of goal as Chelsea held them to a 1-1 draw.

At Old Trafford, the home team actually seized the lead before losing five minutes later—a common occurrence this season that new manager Ruben Amorim needs to address.

Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Bruno Fernandes all wasted gilt-edged chances as the squad lacked any true composure in midfield and the final third.

The Portuguese tactician’s top objective will be to try to help the side recover its touch up front because of the wingers’ failure to score frequently as well as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee’s bad play.

Goals have been hard to find
Antony’s future remains up in the air as does Amad Diallo, whose contract ends in 2025, while INEOS are open to moving on Rashford if he cannot re-find his mojo under the new boss.

This is why the Sporting Lisbon manager wants help in the transfer market and is said to be eyeing a sensational move for a “special talent” who can “light up Old Trafford” — Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The Georgian, who excels on the left wing, already has five goals this season, more than Rashford, and two assists, while in the last two seasons, he netted a total of 27 times while registering 26 assists.

And his impressive form at Naples has alerted multiple Premier League teams to his availability with CaughtOffside claiming the Arsenal, and Liverpool have joined the 20-time English league champions in the race.

Napoli want to hold on to the 23-year-old and are in talks over a new deal with his current contract ending in 2027. But the winger’s camp has been insistent on including a release clause, something the Serie A club are yet to agree.

“CaughtOffside sources have suggested that he is already eyeing a “special talent” who will “light up Old Trafford.” Although Napoli are believed to have put a £90m price tag on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s head, Amorim is keen to land the Georgian ace.

Kvaratskhelia chase heating up
“Sources have also advanced that although the 23-year-old is in talks with Napoli regarding extending his contract, they are currently at an impasse.

“It’s understood that the Partnopei are not willing to accede to a low release clause insisted upon by the agent, no doubt with a view to the player being sold at a later date – with a fee much more attractive to potential buying clubs.

“Arsenal and Liverpool are also keeping tabs on what is a developing situation for a winger who is known for his offensive skills and creativity.”
