Ruben Amorim significantly impacted one Manchester United midfielder's career, but that player's future at Old Trafford is now uncertain.
The club's decision to part ways with former head coach Amorim came after a controversial press conference following a draw with Leeds United, which prompted swift action from club executives.
Manchester United Midfielder Targeted by Champions League Club
As chaos unfolds at Old Trafford, the footballing world continues to watch, with the January transfer window approaching. Rumors are swirling about potential midfield reinforcements for the team, but they may first face the loss of a key player.
Reports suggest that Ajax has added Manuel Ugarte to their list of January transfer targets, with interest also coming from Turkish side Galatasaray. This development could allow Manchester United to recoup some of their investment in the midfielder.
Amorim was instrumental in Ugarte’s career, granting him his first major break with Sporting in 2021. Ugarte’s initial regular appearances under Erik ten Hag dwindled following Amorim's appointment, as he fell behind Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in the pecking order.
Experts suggest that Manchester United may benefit from selling while multiple clubs express interest, potentially increasing the sale price for a player who may not fit into the club's future plans.
Ugarte's current market value stands at €30 million, according to industry sources.
