Manchester United Interested in Signing Two Stars from Porto

"Manchester United" aims to sign two players from "Porto" at Amorim's request, which could be crucial for the team's renewal.

Reports suggest that "Manchester United" head coach Ruben Amorim has 'requested' INEOS to secure two 'star players' from "Porto" in a surprise double move. Amorim has seen mixed results at the start of his tenure with "Manchester United", recording one win, one draw, and one loss in his first three Premier League outings. This performance leaves the team at 13th place in the table, seven points behind the Champions League spots.

At 39, Amorim might push for several player acquisitions come January and next summer to make his mark on the squad, with the club already connected to a variety of potential targets. A top priority will be sourcing a left-back due to ongoing injury concerns with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia in recent seasons. A report from Spain claims "Manchester United" has 'focused their attention' on 25-year-old Francisco Moura, who joined "Porto" only this past summer.

Moura has been in fine form this campaign, tallying seven assists in his 20 outings across various competitions. The report also states that Amorim has 'requested' to sign Samu Aghehowa – formerly Omorodion – as he desires "Porto's" two 'gem players.' A contract with "Porto" until 2029 would necessitate a significant outlay from "United" to secure Moura in the January transfer window. Aghehowa, who transitioned to "Porto" from "Atletico Madrid", is seen as a future offensive bolster.

United's interest in this pair reflects their backing for the new manager, who seeks to balance the roster with young, talented individuals. Although alternatives like Alphonso Davies and Milos Kerkez are on the discussion table, Moura and Aghehowa stand as definite targets for an important transfer window critical to team rebuilding. The ultimate decision will hinge on negotiations with "Porto" and "United's" willingness to invest in these prospects.

Another report from Spain claims "United" is preparing a 40 million euro (around £33m) 'offer' for "Crystal Palace" and England center-back Marc Guehi, making him their 'prime target.' Despite a contract with "Crystal Palace" lasting until June 2026, there exists a realistic chance that "Manchester United" will leverage this situation to secure a budget-friendly transfer. Normally, his transfer valuation might exceed 60 million euros, but the "Red Devils" are willing to propose 40 million—a figure they view as a substantial market deal. The transaction, however, will rely on negotiations between both clubs and the player's own intent.
