Manchester United-ov novi menadžer Ruben Amorim možda već radi na tome da dovede jednog od svojih bivših zvijezda iz Sporting Lisabona sa sobom na Old Trafford.
The Portuguese tactician has just started at Man Utd following the recent sacking of Erik ten Hag, and a brief spell with Ruud van Nistelrooy in place as interim manager.
Red Devils fans will be excited about what they hope will be the start of a more positive new era for the club, and it would certainly help Amorim succeed if he were able to work with some of the players he did such a good job with at Sporting.
Man Utd legend nearing SURPRISE new role!
According to Sacha Tavolieri for Sky, Amorim has already had some talks with Sporting defender Ousmane Diomande about a possible move to Old Trafford, while Manchester City could also be in contention for the talented 20-year-old.
Diomande izgleda kao da bi mogao biti pametan dodatak ovoj United ekipi, s obzirom da je Amorim dobro radio s njim u Lisbonu, i čini se da je Ivory Coast internacionalac skloniji pridruživanju crvenom dijelu Manchestera nego plavom.
MUFC je doveo nove odbrambene igrače tokom ljeta, Matthijs de Ligt i Leny Yoro, ali ovaj drugi je povrijeđen, dok prvi još uvijek nije u potpunosti uvjerio.
Uz to, United ima Harryja Maguirea i Victora Lindelofa koji se približavaju kraju svojih ugovora, pa bi im dobro došlo više dubine na tom dijelu njihove ekipe.
Diomande je još uvijek mlad i uči igru, ali to bi sigurno bio dobar potez s njegove perspektive nastaviti igrati pod menadžerom koji je dosad dobro radio s njim.
The United project as a whole, however, might be a bit risky as a host of big-name managers and big-name player signings have flopped in this post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
