If they sign three of them for me and I failed to win Premier League next season, let them sack me”: Manchester United’s coach Ruben Amorim names the only three players he really want Man United to sign for him this summer. RUBEN JUST NEED THREE PLAYERS TO WIN PREMIER LEAGUE NEXT SEASON.
“If they bring me these three players and I don’t win the Premier League, they can fire me”: Ruben Amorim sets clear transfer expectations at Manchester United
Manchester United’s summer transfer window is shaping up to be an eventful one, with significant changes anticipated in the midfield. New head coach Ruben Amorim is reportedly pushing the club to make three specific signings to overhaul the squad. Confident in his vision, he has even gone as far as saying that if these players are brought in and he still fails to win the league, he should be sacked.
One of Amorim’s top targets is Atalanta’s Ederson, a dynamic Brazilian midfielder whose form in Serie A has caught the attention of many top clubs. With Eriksen’s contract expiring in June and Casemiro showing signs of decline, United are aiming for fresh legs and long-term potential in the heart of their midfield.
Current Midfield Situation at United:
Christian Eriksen is likely to depart as his contract ends this summer, opening up room for a new creative presence.
Casemiro, now 33, has visibly lost pace and stamina. He’s entering the final year of his deal and is open to a move to the Saudi Pro League. United could sanction his exit for around €30 million.
Kobbie Mainoo, the young midfield talent, is facing contract negotiations. While the club doesn’t want to lose him, talks have reportedly hit a snag.
Why Ederson is a Priority Target:
Ederson has emerged as one of Serie A’s most consistent and well-rounded defensive midfielders. This season, he boasts an 88% pass accuracy, wins over half of his duels, and averages more than five ball recoveries per match. He’s also contributed six times in attack, highlighting his versatility.
At 25, Ederson is viewed as a perfect modern midfielder—energetic, press-resistant, and capable in both single and double pivot formations. A reported €60 million could be enough to secure his services, but that deal may hinge on Casemiro’s departure.
The Bigger Picture:
Manchester United are clearly moving toward a more youthful and athletic midfield under Amorim’s guidance. Ederson isn’t just a tactical upgrade—he represents a shift in direction for the club’s playing style and future ambitions.
With Amorim making bold statements and setting high expectations, this summer could define his tenure at Old Trafford. Whether the club backs him with the players he wants will determine not just his success—but also
his longevity in the job.
