Manchester United’s manager, Rúben Amorim, has made it clear that the club is not interested in signing players who are only motivated by the prospect of playing in the Champions League. According to @sporttvportugal, Amorim stated that players who want to represent the club, rather than just participate in certain competitions, are the ones they are looking to sign. This comes after speculation about a potential deal for a striker, with Amorim denying that he had spoken to the player in question.
Manager’s Philosophy
Amorim’s comments suggest that he is prioritising players who are committed to the club’s values and goals, rather than just seeking to enhance their own careers. This approach is consistent with his recent efforts to improve the goal-scoring record of existing players, such as Højlund, and to give young players a chance to develop and prove themselves. Amorim has also been praising the performance of certain players, like Onana, which suggests that he is focused on building a strong team dynamic and ethos.
Transfer Policy
The club’s transfer policy under Amorim appears to be focused on signing players who are a good fit for the team’s style and values, rather than just chasing big names or players who are looking for a platform to play in the Champions League. As reported by @sporttvportugal, Amorim’s comments on the Gyokeres deal suggest that the club is taking a thoughtful and considered approach to its recruitment, and is not willing to compromise on its values in order to attract certain players.
