Ruben Amorim recently took over as the new manager of Manchester United, following the departure of Erik ten Hag last month. Since then, the team has been struggling to find consistent form. In his first game in charge, they failed to beat newly-promoted Ipswich Town, and have since suffered two defeats, one at home against Nottingham Forest and the other away at Arsenal. However, they have also shown signs of improvement, coming from behind to win against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League and securing a dramatic victory against local rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Amorim is expected to bring in new signings during the next two transfer windows, and United legend Teddy Sheringham believes that Arsenal and England star Declan Rice would be a perfect addition to the team. Sheringham expressed his belief that United should have signed Rice a few years ago, and that acquiring him now from Arsenal would not only strengthen United, but also weaken their rivals.
Rice has been a key player for Arsenal, barely missing a game and helping the team challenge for the title last season. Sheringham believes that he is the type of player that United need in order to make a statement about their new manager and his vision for the team.
While a move for Rice may seem like a pipe dream for United fans, they may have a better chance of signing Swedish goalscoring sensation Viktor Gyokeres, who played under Amorim at Sporting Lisbon. However, Sheringham believes that there are other areas that United should prioritize, such as a left back and another quality midfielder.
Former United midfielder Paul Pogba has also been linked with a return to the club, but Sheringham is not convinced that he would be a good addition. He believes that Pogba's attitude and body language have been poor in the past and that he has been out of the game for too long. He would not be surprised if a Premier League club signs Pogba, but personally, he would not go near him.
In Sheringham's opinion, United should focus on strengthening their team in key areas rather than making a statement signing. He believes that there are other players who could make a bigger impact on the team's performance. Ultimately, the decision rests with Amorim and the club's management, but Sheringham's insight and experience may prove to be valuable in shaping United's future.
