Ruben Amorim has not been afraid to take ruthless calls since he took over Manchester United as seen from Sunday’s huge decision to leave out his team’s two top scorers.
Despite the absence of both Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, the Red Devils beat Manchester City in the derby while displaying a level of control not seen in recent years.
Since that game, the Mancunian has come out and declared that he is open to leaving his boyhood club with INEOS open to a sale should any sizeable offer be submitted.
The Englishman might not be the only high-profile star to make way with Fichajes claiming Andre Onana could also be on his way despite a strong start to the campaign.
Onana out
The Cameroonian has pulled off a few stunning saves this season but mistakes have crept into his game in recent weeks as seen from his displays against Nottingham Forest and Viktoria Plzen.
And that has meant signing a new goalkeeper has become “one of the most urgent priorities” for the head coach who has not been impressed with what he has seen from the former Ajax goalie so far.
Amorim reportedly wants the Erik ten Hag signing “out now” after “losing patience” following his recent mistakes. He has “asked for a top replacement for January” with United looking at Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka.
The 25-year-old shot-stopper has been made “one of Amorim’s priorities” for the January transfer window with United prepared to “invest the €20m to sign him”.
Bulka in
The Poland international had kept 18 clean sheets last season and is a former Ligue 1 winner with Paris Saint-Germain. Interestingly, he knows all about the Premier League having come up through the ranks at Chelsea.
United were linked with a move for Bulka in the summer as well but nothing materialised. But this time, Amorim has reportedly promised the Polish goalkeeper that he will be the “undisputed and instant starter” at the club.
The report needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as Amorim is unlikely to make such a drastic change in the winter. Maybe, a clearer picture will emerge next summer.
Not only Onana but reserve goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has also been linked with an exit and a major revamp in goal could be on the cards.
