Ruben Amorim Wants Perfect Star for 3-4-3 System
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim is dreaming of bringing Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies to Old Trafford, according to reports.
Amorim was officially announced on November 1 but could not start until last Monday after taking charge of his final match as Sporting Lisbon boss in a 4-2 win over Braga.
Man United already had two full training sessions with the new coaching setup this week.
Speculation is already rife about who INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe could look to buy to support Amorim in the January transfer window, with numerous names mooted as potential additions.
Bayern Munich wing-back Davies is extremely unlikely to be a January addition but there are rumours that Man Utd are attempting to beat Real Madrid to the free transfer in the summer.
A report on Monday claimed Man Utd are ‘bidding hard’ for Davies with the Red Devils now given a ‘chance’ of beating the La Liga giants to the Canada international’s signature.
As for Manchester United’s interest, the Canadian international has been categorised as a ‘dream’ signing to occupy the left-wing back role in Amorim’s new setup. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, the club’s only senior left-backs, are returning to full fitness after lengthy injury setbacks. However, relying on both to stay fit for the course of a season is perhaps ill-advised.
