Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is a fan of Liverpool target Morgan Gibbs-White
Manchester United have had a very tough season this year and are nowhere close to the glory years that they once had. The new manager, Ruben Amorim, will want to use the upcoming transfer window to get the players who can fit his plans. The former Sporting CP manager relies on high pressing and high work rate. So, he definitely wants players who possess the qualities.
The club will be looking to strengthen their midfield and bring in new central midfielders. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are at the fag ends of their careers and they might be leaving the club in the summer. Kobbie Mainoo is also expected to leave the club if he does not agree to a new contract with United.
Manchester United want to sign Morgan Gibbs-White
Mick Brown has exclusively told Football Insider that Manchester United are set to compete with Liverpool for the signing of Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. The Red Devils’ manager, Amorim, is a fan of the player, likes his qualities, and wants to bring him to Old Trafford. He feels that Gibbs-White will definitely fit the style of play that he wants United to play under him. The scouts of Red Devils have been keeping tabs on the progress of the 25-year-old midfielder.

Forest are currently third in the Premier League points table and are competing for Champions League qualification. If they do qualify, the club will like to retain their player and will give their best to fend off interest. He is a integral player of the team under Nuno Espirito Santo and has been in sensational form in the ongoing season
Morgan Gibbs-White has scored five goals in 25 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. He has amassed a G/A of 12 so far this season. Gibbs-White passes the ball roughly 38.83 times during a game with a pass completion rate of 82.02%. He also plays 1.80 key passes each game. Overall, his xA (Expected Assists) output is 0.32 per 90 minutes.
“Man United have been looking at Morgan Gibbs-White. He’s a player who is highly mobile, works very hard, and has this sort of dynamism to his game. That’s something Ruben Amorim likes and needs in the system he wants to play. I’m told Amorim is a big fan of Gibbs-White from what he’s seen. He’s spoken before about Mason Mount, who’s been injured but is not too dissimilar to Gibbs-White in terms of the role they would play. I think that’s a move United will be interested in if they can tempt him to leave Forest. Whether they’d be able to get it done, because of their financial situation, is unclear. It’s looking like if they’re going to spend any sort of big money, they’re going to have to sell somebody first, maybe somebody like Kobbie Mainoo. Nottingham Forest won’t let Gibbs-White go cheaply, it will be a huge fee to tempt them into selling. Especially if they get Champions League football, which it now looks like they will.”
Mick Brown has exclusively told Football Insider.
Morgan Gibbs-White is a proper gem when he is firing. The Nottingham Forest star dazzles as an attacking midfielder, possessing creativity with grit. He moves through tight spaces with smooth dribbling, always hunting that killer pass—his vision’s top-notch, often unlocking defenses with a single flick.
The midfielder’s work rate is unreal too; he tracks back, hassles opponents, and never shies from a scrap. Gibbs-White has got a venomous shot as well, curling efforts from distance or pouncing in the box. With his flair, tenacity, and knack for big moments, the 25-year-old is a live wire who lifts any team—pure energy wrapped in skill!

Good decision?
United fans should be thrilled that the club are eyeing Morgan Gibbs-White. Mick Brown is spot-on—his mobility and dynamism scream Ruben Amorim’s style. They need that spark in midfield, someone who hustles and creates like he does at Forest. Amorim is a fan, and I get why; Gibbs-White’s got that Mason Mount vibe—versatile and relentless.
It is a cracking fit for our 3-4-3 reboot. But here’s the rub: cash is tight. Forest won’t budge cheap, especially if they snag Champions League football. Selling someone like Kobbie Mainoo to fund it? Gutting, but smart if it lands United Gibbs-White. I say go for it—big risk, big reward!
