Ex-Benfica man watches as Manchester United make transfer market move | OneFootball

Manchester United will no longer pursue signing a midfielder in January. According to reports, the Old Trafford club, managed by Rúben Amorim, will postpone the move until the summer. It appears to be part of a strategy devised by the club's management, with the knowledge of the former Benfica coach.

As revealed by journalist Rob Dawson, Manchester United has not given up on the idea of signing a midfielder. However, according to the ESPN source, the club's management intends to wait for the summer market to 'attack' the main targets to strengthen Rúben Amorim's squad.

Cited by the newspaper A Bola, the sports daily adds that the most recent target for the Red Devils is Aurélien Tchouaméni, who plays for Real Madrid. According to the Old Trafford club's structure, the French international is seen as a long-term successor to Casemiro. Additionally, at just 25 years old, the footballer is considered one of the most talented defensive midfielders in European football.

On the other hand, the Red Devils' wish list also includes other big names. Besides the Real Madrid player, Manchester United is also monitoring the season of Morten Hjulmand, captain of Sporting, and Angelo Stiller, a major star of Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.

Recently, the former Benfica player, now coaching Manchester United, received approval from a club legend. "The coach made some good signings. The goalkeeper has only played three or four games, but always seemed very good. And Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, who came from Brentford and Wolverhampton, also added value," stated Sir Alex Ferguson.
