‘I dream of Playing at Old Trafford’ – Man Utd plotting shock Son Heung-min transfer with Amorim seeing Tottenham star as ‘viable target’

Ruben Amorim is reported to have urged Manchester United to target a surprise move to bring Son Heung-min to Old Trafford in 2025 –

The 32-year-old, who joined Tottenham in the summer of 2015 for a steal of £22 million (€30 million, $32.5 million), is regarded by many as the greatest South Korean player of all time.

Son has contributed to an incredible 254 goals (166 goals, 88 assists) in 422 games for Spurs in his tenth season in north London, which equates to a goal contribution per 1.66 games.

But with the 32-year-old’s deal in N17 is due to expire next summer meaning the player is eligible to negotiate a pre-contract move overseas from January 1 – just 28 days from now.

However, a surprise report from Givemesport claims that new United boss Amorim sees Son as a ‘viable target’ to bring to Old Trafford next year themselves, with there being ‘plenty of chat around Old Trafford’ that an approach could be made to lure him to the north-west at the end of the current season.

Amorim is looking to help restore Manchester United back to their former glories and, while they have made some quick progress under his management, the club plans to strengthen in a number of key areas across the summer window.

Operating in a 3-4-2-1 formation, Son could be seen as a possible option to play as one of the two No.10’s behind the frontman, forming a potentially devasting partnership with Bruno Fernandes or Marcus Rashford.

While talks over a new deal for Son at Spurs are yet to see an agreement reached, they do still have a one-year option in his deal that can at the very least ensure the 131-times capped South Korea international remains with the club until summer 2026.

And according to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have already started the process of activating that option, with the trusted reporter providing an update on his situation on his YouTube channel last month.

“I have something to say about Heung-min Son, a top player of Tottenham Hotspur,” Romano said. “It’s important to say that, according to my information, Tottenham are prepared to take the option to extend the contract of Son.

“So if you check on Son, on all the websites, for example, Transfermarkt, you can see that his contract is expiring in the summer of 2025.

“But Tottenham have an option, have a clause in the contract to extend the deal for one more season, 2025/26, and they are in the process, from what I’m hearing, of extending this contract for one more year.

“This is the idea, this is the plan, the process has already started and so the expectation is for Son to have a longer contract at Tottenham.”

However, reports last month also stated that a sensational parting of ways could be on the cards with the player informing the club that he has no intention of signing a deal for longer than that and the player is seeking one final career challenge away from Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Whether that would force his sale this summer, or whether United would move to pay a fee for him, remains to be seen
