Ruben Amorim wants to sign an experienced striker in January to help Benjamin Sesko get better. Manchester United signed Sesko this summer from RB Leipzig.
United paid €85 million to sign the 22-year-old. The Slovenian has scored 2 goals and provided an assist in 9 Premier League games for the Red Devils.
However, the Red Devils are looking for more impact from Sesko. The other striker they have in the squad is Joshua Zirkzee, who is just two years older than the Slovenian.
Also, the Dutch forward has expressed his desire to leave United for more game time. He wants to play in the World Cup with the Netherlands.
That is why if he leaves, United will need a new striker. That is why Ruben Amorim wanted to sign an experienced striker to guide Sesko and become a better player.
For that, the Portuguese boss also identified a striker who can be the ideal person to look up to for Sesko. However, according to The Mirror, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is ready to stop that move.
The Manchester United chief will intervene if Ruben Amorim tries to sign the striker that the Portuguese has identified. This could be the first sign of a rift between Amorim and Ratcliffe.
Previously, Sir Jim Ratcliffe backed Ruben Amorim when things were going against him. But the Portuguese manager somehow has turned the tables.
But if he tries to sign Robert Lewandowski as a senior striker, Sir Jim will not approve that move. The Portuguese boss was heavily backed in the summer.
However, they failed to sign a midfielder. And, Amorim will try to get a midfielder in January, with the likes of Conor Gallagher and Elliot Anderson linked with a move to United.
But the dream of signing Robert Lewandowski for Ruben Amorim might remain a dream as Sir Jim Ratcliffe is against signing the 37-year-old.
