Man Utd Target Ruben Amorim Eyes Squad Shake-Up, Mbeumo Pursuit Takes Twist
Manchester United managerial target Ruben Amorim is reportedly prepared to sanction the departures of up to four players should he take the helm at Old Trafford, as clarity emerges regarding the future of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.
Amorim, currently managing Sporting CP, is believed to be prioritizing a squad overhaul if appointed as erik ten Hag’s successor. According to reports, the Portuguese coach has identified players he deems surplus to requirements, potentially including defenders Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane, alongside midfielders Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. These decisions are driven by a desire to reshape the team with a focus on younger, more dynamic players fitting Amorim’s tactical system.
the potential exits come as the situation surrounding brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo becomes clearer. Recent reports indicate Mbeumo is set to sign a new contract with Brentford, effectively ending any immediate prospect of a move to Manchester United. The 24-year-old forward was identified as a potential target to bolster United’s attacking options,but his anticipated commitment to Brentford forces the club to explore option options.
This development underscores the meaningful changes Amorim is prepared to implement, signaling a clear vision for the future of Manchester United should he accept the managerial position. The planned squad restructuring aims to address perceived weaknesses and build a team capable of consistently challenging for major honors.
