"Amorim's Manchester United have had a better time of it so far this season and are genuinely in contention for Champions League qualification as things stand. In order to do this they will need to dip into the transfer market in the next month and add some quality depth to the squad to ensure they can keep up to pace with those around them in the fight for European places."
"Antony and Lisandro Martinez immediately followed him from Ajax, while Andre Onana joined a year later. Neither Antony, nor Onana are at the club any more, while Martinez has been plagued by injuries in the past few seasons. Amorim is yet to sign one of his former players, although they were strongly linked with a move for Viktor Gyokeres in the summer, and Manuel Ugarte was already part of the Manchester United squad when he joined."
Manchester United are preparing to sign Sporting wing-back Maxi Araujo in January to bolster attacking depth at left-back and on the wing following manager Ruben Amorim’s request. The club have scouted Araujo multiple times over the last year and sent scouts to Sporting’s match against AVS Futebol SAD. Araujo can play as a left-back or a winger and has recorded three goals and an assist across all competitions this season. United seek quality squad depth to maintain their challenge for Champions League qualification. Previous United signings of managers’ former players under Erik ten Hag had mixed outcomes.
