Ruben Amorim makes special request as £50m FC Porto star leaves door open for Old Trafford move

Manchester United transfer news as Ruben Amorim eyes a new forward at Old Trafford, while a defender keeps the door open for a possible move to the Theatre of Dreams in the future

Manchester United’s time under Ruben Amorim has got off to a stuttering start as they return to Premier League action once again.

Friday will see the Red Devils undertake their final preparations ahead of facing Nottingham Forest, with some valuable time on the training pitch for Amorim to continue to relay his philosophy.

The 39-year-old will hope to bounce back from defeat against Arsenal but the Midlands opposition could prove a tough foe, and sit three points ahead of United

With each day that passes, the January transfer window grows ever closer and speculation continues to build over Amorim’s first opportunity to sign players of his own, should the club permit it.

Ruben Amorim request
There have been no shortage of players linked with United since Ruben Amorim’s arrival. A new forward has been on the agenda with Viktor Gyokeres’ name mentioned on more than one occasion.

Despite the new United boss already seeing goals from Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford, it remains a forward that appears to be under consideration. Amorim has made a request to sign a player from the Portuguese League, according to reports.

The 39-year-old coach hopes to sign Porto star striker Samuel Omorodion. Amorim is said to have followed the 20-year-old during his time in Spain, before his summer transfer to Porto.

A £50million fee has been touted to seal a deal
