Amorim drops major transfer hint, want INEOS to sign ‘superb finisher’ before deadline – view | OneFootball

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has dropped a big transfer message to the club co-owners INEOS ahead of the transfer deadline day.

In a surprising tactical move, Amorim benched both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee for the Premier League showdown against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

This marked the first time under his reign that United took the field without a recognised striker in the starting XI.

The Brazilian international Antony has left United to join Real Betis on loan for the remainder of the season.

Marcus Rashford is on the verge of completing a shock loan move to Aston Villa.

He underwent his medical on Sunday.

The Villians will cover 75% of his salary and will have the option to make the move permanent in the summer for a fee of £40 million.

United are short of attacking options and must sign at least one new forward.

They have set their sights on a loan move for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel.

Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku and Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey are also on their shortlist.

Nkunku and Bailey are not natural centre-forwards, indicating Tel is United’s priority target.

The 19-year-old rejected a move to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week.

Despite his potential, the teenager has seen limited playing time under manager Vincent Kompany.

With his blistering pace, he could provide the speed United desperately need in their squad.

Bayern legend Thomas Muller previously described him as a ‘superb finisher‘.

The Red Devils should move quickly to secure him on loan for the rest of the season, with an option to buy in the summer.

If he impresses over the next five months, United could secure one of the best young talents permanently.

His arrival could shake up the future of both Zirkzee and Hojlund.

The duo have only managed to score five goals between them in the league this season.
