Manchester United have started the season poorly. Even after spending all that money on attacking signings, things haven’t improved for the Red Devils.
They are still leaking goals in the back. That is why Ruben Amorim now knows that he needs a new defender.
The Portuguese boss realised that in his back three system, Lisandro Martinez is a very important player.
But the Argentine is injury-prone. That is why he cannot rely on him even after he comes back. Also, Amorim could sell him if United receive a good offer.
Barcelona are interested in signing Lisandro Martinez next summer. So, Ruben Amorim wants to act quickly and have his replacement ready.
Also, with the situation of Harry Maguire can create uncertainty in their defence. That is why Manchester United are already preparing for the January transfer window.
So far, the team has managed just three wins in seven league games. Still, the Portuguese manager remains focused on his long-term vision.
According to Fichajes, Amorim has already informed the club’s board about one player he considers a top priority.
The Manchester United boss reportedly wants to bring an Italian defender from Serie A to Old Trafford. Federico Dimarco has been a standout performer in recent seasons.
The Italian possess creativity and precision in wide areas of the pitch. It is something Manchester United need.
Dimarco is a left-footed wing-back who fits perfectly into Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system. So far this season, he has already scored twice and provided three assists in Serie A.
The Italian international came through Inter’s academy and helped them lift the 2023–24 Serie A title.
For Manchester United, signing Dimarco could be a crucial step towards restoring balance and creativity on the left side of the pitch.
