Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly contemplating sanctioning a January deal for PSV Eindhoven attacking midfielder Malik Tillman.
It has been suggested that Amorim will have very little to spend in the upcoming windows, amidst United’s dire financial shape – a fact that became even more apparent after the club announced its quarterly results.
It’s believed that United chiefs are eager for Amorim to try and get the most out of his current squad.
However, this has not stopped the Red Devils from continuing to be linked with several stars, even as the January transfer period approaches.
According to GIVEMESPORT, United retain an interest in Malik, who plies his trade in the Eredivisie. There are at least two other Premier League clubs also eyeing the midfielder, who was described by his USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino as “unbelievable” and “similar to Dele Alli.”
“Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is facing competition from Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur after setting his sights on luring PSV Eindhoven star Malik Tillman to Old Trafford during the fast-approaching winter transfer window, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.”
“Manchester United are monitoring Tillman ahead of potentially testing PSV’s resolve with a formal proposal in January, according to GMS sources, but their pursuit is in danger of being complicated due to Aston Villa and Tottenham also contemplating whether to offer a route into the Premier League.”
“His performances have left his current employers facing a battle to keep him on board as the Red Devils, Villans and Spurs have been checking him out as they make plans for the winter transfer window.”
GMS add that United, Spurs and Villa have all sent scouts to watch Tilman in action.
It’s understood that he has more than three years left on his £5,000-per-week contract with PSV Eindhoven.
Tillman impressed on loan at the Philips Stadion from Bayern Munich last term, prompting the Dutch outfit to make the signing a permanent one for around £10 million before the start of the ongoing 2024/25 campaign.
Bayern have a £30million buy-back and a sell-on clause for the ex-Rangers attacking midfielder.
So far this term, Tillman has made 17 appearances across the Eredivisie and the Champions League, registering an impressive six goals and three assists in that period.
