Manchester United are showing a keen interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Konrad Laimer. According to reports, this move is at the orders of the club's new manager, Ruben Amorim. Amorim, who recently took over from Erik ten Hag, has already won over the team's supporters with his confident and charismatic approach. However, he also recognizes that his biggest challenge so far will be their upcoming match against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Despite only being in Manchester for a short time, the Portuguese manager has wasted no time in getting to work behind the scenes. Along with sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox, Amorim is determined to strengthen the team in order to compete with their Premier League rivals. While they are not expected to make any extravagant purchases this winter, Amorim is set to have a significant say in future transfers as part of INEOS' new football structure.
One player that has caught Amorim's eye is Bayern Munich's Konrad Laimer. According to Sky Deutschland, the manager has urged the club's bosses to consider making a bid for the 27-year-old midfielder, who has impressed in the Bundesliga over the past two seasons. Laimer's versatility is a major selling point, as he is comfortable playing both in midfield and at right-back.
Manchester United and Bayern Munich have a good relationship, with Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui both making the move from the German club to Old Trafford in the past. However, it may not be easy to secure Laimer's services, as a report from Sport Bild suggests he is happy at Bayern and has no intention of leaving. The Austrian still has three years remaining on his contract with the club and is not expected to be the next player to depart.
Since joining Bayern in 2023, Laimer has made 58 appearances for the team but has yet to cement a regular spot in the starting lineup under manager Vincent Kompany. Laimer has spoken about the competition for minutes, saying that as a player, he always wants to play, but he understands that it is a tough battle. He is determined to prove himself and is confident that he has what it takes to succeed at Bayern Munich.
