Manchester United's transfer pursuit of a £52m midfielder next summer heavily depends on Ruben Amorim's future at the club.
The club has had a challenging start to the season, largely due to a lack of structure in midfield. Despite summer signings like Benjamin Šeško and Bryan Mbeumo, the central areas of the pitch were not adequately strengthened.
The current midfield lineup includes established starters Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, with support from Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo. However, it is clear that additional quality and depth are needed.
No further comments from the club have been made regarding the transfer plans.
