Ruben Amorim, the new head coach of Manchester United, is taking charge of the squad this winter and is making some changes. Recent reports have revealed that two players, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof, have been put up for sale by the club ahead of the January transfer window. Football transfers expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this information, stating that both players are no longer needed by the team.
Eriksen and Lindelof, whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the season, have not been getting much playing time under Amorim. As the January window is the last opportunity for United to sell them, the club is hoping to make a deal before they can leave on free transfers in the summer. Romano shared, "Eriksen and Lindelof are available for the January market, but at the moment there's still nothing concrete. For sure both are players who could be available in January."
Eriksen, 32, has been a United player since 2022 and has played in 87 games for the club, scoring seven goals and providing 16 assists. The Denmark international midfielder was signed on a free transfer from Brentford, so United did not have to pay a fee for him. On the other hand, Lindelof has been with the Red Devils for seven years, having joined from Benfica in 2017. He has played in 268 matches for the team and was acquired for around £30.7m.
In other news, it has been reported that United's first signing under Amorim's leadership is a 17-year-old Paraguayan left-back named Diego Leon. The young wonderkid from Cerro Porteno has already signed all the necessary documents to join the team in July 2025. The initial transfer fee for Leon is $4 million, with the possibility of an additional $4 million in add-ons. This is similar to the deal that Chelsea made for Estevao Willian, where the player will officially join the team after turning 18.
It seems that United is planning for the future with these changes and signings. Only time will tell how these moves will affect the team and their performance on the field. But one thing is for sure, Ruben Amorim is determined to lead the team to success and is not afraid to make necessary changes to achieve it.
