Amorim’s transfer demand

Speaking to the press on Monday evening, Rúben Amorim issued a transfer demand to United’s leadership team that he feels they must emulate in the coming windows.

After spending over £200 million in the summer, many agree that Noussair Mazraoui has been the most successful of the five new players, despite him costing by far the least money at just £12.8 million from Bayern Munich.

Amorim has highltihted his transfer as one that the club must emulate more often, explaining that he and other trnasfers like him are the “future” of the club.

“He is a top player because he understands the game, he is very good defensively, very good one on one,” Amorim explained.

“I think he is the future of our team, we need more players like Nous who can control the tempo, he is really good with the ball.”

Mazraoui has proven himself to be a valuable asset in recent months as United continue to build themselves under Amorim.

The Morrocan international has played as a right-back, left-back, centre-back, and even as an attacking midfielder since he signed for the club in August.
