Man Utd preparing stunning £67m offer to sign “incredible” ace Amorim likes

With those at Old Trafford aiming to transform Ruben amorim‘s struggling side, Manchester United are reportedly preparing an offer worth as much as £67m to sign one particular La Liga star.

Man Utd transfer news

It’s been a nightmare few months for the Red Devils both on and off the pitch. Away from the action, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS continue to rule with an iron fist, making further redundancies recently and extending their cost-cutting measures to more and more extreme lengths. Meanwhile, as those redundancies take place, it’s those on the pitch who are continuing to fail.

Amorim’s side sit in the depths of the Premier League’s bottom half with just five wins in 16 league games in the four months of the 40-year-old’s reign. And as money continues to be the talking point at Old Trafford, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can even afford the extensive rebuild they so desperately need to suit Amorim’s system.

That hasn’t stopped the rumours from coming thick and fast though. According to reports in Spain, Manchester United are now preparing an offer worth €80m (£67m) to sign Marc Casado from Barcelona this summer.

Whilst the La Liga giants are not overly keen on selling their midfielder anytime soon, their own financial concerns may well tempt them into accepting such a hefty offer this summer.

It’s been a nightmare four months…

Given that Amorim reportedly likes the young Spaniard, Casado could be one to watch when the transfer window swings open this summer.

“Incredible” Casado could partner Mainoo

Whether it’s been Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte or Casemiro dropping in as well as Kobbie Mainoo, one problem area that Manchester United have is at the base of their midfield in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system. The double pivot has simply lacked consistent faces to form a partnership and it could be argued that Fernandes should be in one of the advanced roles rather than sitting deep, taking him out of the equation.

What’s left after the captain steps forward is a combination formed between Mainoo, Ugarte and Casemiro. And whilst the natural choice should be Mainoo and Ugarte given how Casemiro has fallen away from his best form in the last two seasons, injury problems mean that the Red Devils could do with an added option. That’s where Casado could come in.

At just 21 years old, the midfielder could partner Mainoo for years to come at Old Trafford and end any doubts at the heart of Amorim’s system.

The La Masia graduate has taken full advantage of his opportunities in the current campaign, even scoring once and assisting an impressive six times to earn the praise of Jacek Kulig. The football talent scout dubbed his season “incredible” back in October.
