Victor Gyokeres done, Raphinha agreement, Zirkzee departure”, Dream Man United squad once January transfer is completed – as Ruben Amorim set to strengthen His squad after yesterday disappointing result..

Although the draw elevated United to 12th place, the team remains six points away from the top four, leaving manager Ruben Amorim aware of the significant challenges ahead.
Following Roy Keane’s critical evaluation of the club’s current state, reports indicate that Amorim has outlined his transfer demands to minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe and sporting director Dan Ashworth. He has emphasized the need for reinforcements in six key positions before the next season, with an immediate focus on securing signings during the January transfer window.
Amorim’s wishlist includes two center-backs, a left-back, a midfielder, a striker, and a winger to effectively implement his preferred 3-4-3 formation. He has pressed Ashworth and CEO Omar Berrada to ensure funding is available for these acquisitions over the next two transfer windows, with the left-back position identified as the top priority for January. Persistent injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have underscored the urgency of addressing this area.
United have set their sights on Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, who is set to become a free agent next summer. However, Amorim is prepared to wait for Davies unless Real Madrid secures him first. In that case, United could explore alternatives, such as Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez or a potential re-signing of Alvaro Fernandez from Benfica. Amorim is eager to finalize the left-back situation by the close of January.
In addition to a left-back, Amorim is prioritizing two center-backs due to the impending departures of Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof in 2025 and ongoing uncertainties around Harry Maguire’s future. Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Sporting Lisbon’s Ousmane Diomande are reportedly among his top targets.
Concerns over United’s goal-scoring issues have led Amorim to target Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres as a key summer signing. He is also interested in reuniting with winger Geovany Quenda and possibly bringing back Angel Gomes to serve as a long-term replacement for Casemiro.
Amorim views players such as Andre Onana, Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, and Bruno Fernandes as vital to his system. Additionally, he aims to retain key assets like Manuel Ugarte, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund to form the backbone of
his squad.
