Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on one Manchester United target and the Red Devils could miss out on bringing the player to Old Trafford for Ruben Amorim.
Ruben Amorim has seen new additions to his Manchester United first-team squad this summer after the arrivals of both Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon at the club.
Matheus Cunha has been United’s marquee summer signing and the Red Devils triggered the £62.5m release clause in the Brazilian’s Wolves contract last month.
Meanwhile, Diego Leon agreed to sign for United back in January and the 18-year-old Paraguayan full-back was finally confirmed as a United player on Saturday.
United are still tipped to have further movement in the transfer market this summer and the Red Devils have been linked with signing a striker and a midfielder.
Amorim is in desperate need of a new striking option at Old Trafford after the struggles of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in the frontline last season.
