Manchester United suffered a loss in their opening Premier League game against Arsenal at Old Trafford. After that match, one thing is clear: Ruben Amorim is right.
Manchester United’s Portuguese boss wants to sign a new midfielder. Against Arsenal, he started Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
Fernandes was going forward, leaving Casemiro alone. And, one thing was clear: Casemiro cannot run the midfield alone. But Amorim’s system needs such a player.
That is why Amorim is looking for a player who can run the midfield and break up the play alone without needing assistance from his other midfielder, who needs to play a key role going forward.
For this reason, Ruben Amorim was desperate to sign Carlos Baleba. However, Brighton and Hove Albion have shut the door for a possible move.
Now, Ruben Amorim wants to explore the market to find a potential alternative. Now, it looks like the Portuguese manager has found the ideal man as Baleba’s alternative.
According to Maximo de la Cruz Ramirez Ramirez, Manchester United are eyeing a move for the Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume.
The Red Devils have held initial talks with the representatives of Agoume. The French midfielder was once linked to Arsenal as well.
Manchester United must act fast, as Ruben Amorim cannot afford to drop more points because the season has just began and he doesn’t want to play catch up later on.
A ver sobre Agoumé y el #ManchesterUnited. El jugador es una de las opciones que tiene Ineos para el centro del campo. Están barajando otras opciones, pero es cierto que el francés del #SevillaFC está bien valorado. Ya ha habido los primeros sondeos con su entorno.
Veremos… https://t.co/SxWgzoUOH0 pic.twitter.com/SybwGKEuup— Máximo de la Cruz Ramírez Ramírez (@ramirezmaximodc) August 19, 2025
