According to reports from Italy, new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is considering a January transfer move for Juventus defender Danilo, a former Manchester City player. This follows United’s recent dismissal of Erik ten Hag after a poor season start, with only three wins from their first ten Premier League games.https://futbal.uk/wp-admin
Amorim, who will officially join United on November 11 after coaching his final game with Sporting Lisbon against Braga, faces a challenging task. United currently sit 13th in the league, with only Southampton and Crystal Palace scoring fewer goals. Numerous players have already been linked with United as Amorim plans his squad improvements over the next few transfer windows. While Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres has been mentioned as a possible target to address their goal-scoring issues, the cost of the Swedish player is likely to make a January move unfeasible.
Italian outlet *Juve Live* reports that Danilo, who is captain of both Juventus and the Brazil national team, could be a realistic, low-cost addition for January. Danilo is said to be “on the verge of leaving” Turin, and Amorim reportedly wants him at Old Trafford.
Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown, who remains connected with the club, noted that United has limited funds for January transfers. Brown told Football Insider that United spent significantly on managerial changes, including Ten Hag’s exit, and has little budget left for player acquisitions. The board, he said, expects Amorim to make the most of the existing squad, helping both younger and more experienced players perform consistently. United’s financial challenges, including the need for profit and sustainability, also limit spending until the summer. Brown added that Amorim will have time to evaluate the squad and can make necessary changes once additional funds become available in the summer transfer window.
