Ruben Amorim has asked Man Utd to sign Barcelona sensation

Ruben Amorim wants Manchester United to acquire Barcelona star defender.

Manchester United’s newly appointed head coach, Ruben Amorim, plans to implement a three-man defensive system.

However, the club’s current defensive options lack the depth and quality needed to execute his vision effectively.

Victor Lindelof’s ongoing injury issues and a contract expiring in 2025, coupled with Harry Maguire’s similar situation, leave the backline in need of reinforcements.

Jonny Evans, while experienced, is not a long-term solution. Meanwhile, only Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Lisandro Martinez appear set to remain key figures in the squad.

Reports suggest United are targeting Barcelona’s Jules Kounde, who has been outstanding this season under Hans-Dieter Flick.

Amorim is believed to be keen on the Frenchman, with an initial bid of €65 million reportedly being prepared. However, Barcelona are firm on their €100 million release clause, making a transfer unlikely unless the club decides to offload the defender.
