Recent reports suggest that Ruben Amorim, the new manager at Old Trafford, has big plans for Manchester United. According to sources in Spain, Amorim may try to sign Tottenham defender Pedro Porro for the team. This news comes as Amorim prepares to take charge of his first game against Ipswich Town on Sunday, replacing former manager Erik ten Hag.
Amorim is known for his successful use of the 3-4-3 formation during his time in Portugal, and it is expected that he will implement this strategy at United. This could lead to significant changes in the team's personnel. While this approach did not work well for his predecessor, United has been linked to several players from Amorim's former team, Sporting. These include prolific goal scorer Viktor Gyokeres, young talent Geovany Quenda, and defender Ousmane Diomande.
One player that Amorim may be particularly interested in is Pedro Porro, who spent two-and-a-half years working under him at Sporting before joining Tottenham. Despite having an impressive season with the London club, reports suggest that Porro may be open to a move to United if Amorim were to make a move for him. Those close to Porro have described his relationship with Amorim as "excellent at all levels."
Although United already has solid options at right-back in Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui, Amorim's plans for the team are still developing. Porro has been a key player for Tottenham under manager Ange Postecoglou, but there is growing interest in him from other clubs. In fact, Real Madrid is considering him as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires at the end of the season. Porro is seen as a more well-rounded option for the team, as they search for a long-term replacement for Dani Carvajal.
However, Tottenham's asking price of €70 million may be a deterrent for Real Madrid and other interested clubs. This could also impact United's potential pursuit of Porro. As Amorim's plans for the team become clearer in the coming weeks and months, it will be interesting to see if he makes a move for the talented right-back. One thing is for sure, Amorim has big ambitions for United and is looking to make significant changes to the team's roster.
