Supposedly, United are now in “pole position” to recruit Ousmane Diomande, a defender for Sporting Lisbon, according to new manager Ruben Amorim.

After agreeing to retain Erik ten Hag over the summer, the Red Devils made five additions during the transfer window to show their entire support.

United signed Manuel Ugarte, Noussair Mazraoui, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee, and Joshua Zirkzee before the summer transfer window closed, but none of them have made the impression that the club’s management and supporters had hoped they would.

After the Red Devils’ disappointing start to the Premier League season (three wins out of nine matches), manager Garry Ten Hag was fired and Amorim was named manager in early November.

After Ruud van Nistelrooy’s departure last week, Manchester United accumulated four more points in the Premier League.

On Sunday, Amorim earned his first point in his first match in a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town. Marcus Rashford took the lead in the second minute, but Omari Hutchinson equalized for Amorim.

Amorim is now the one who is worried about how the Manchester United players will fit into his 3-4-3 structure, adding to the already abundant talk about possible new arrivals at Old Trafford.

In the run-up to the January transfer window, Manchester United has naturally been connected with several of his former Sporting Lisbon stars.

Midway through the season, the Red Devils are not expected to have a lot of money to spend on players, but in the summer, they stand a better chance of spending large.

Sending best wishes to Ruben Amorim; Manchester United are “a fat, lazy, bloated corpse of a club.”

In light of rumors linking them to Andreas Christensen of Barcelona, Amorim has made strengthening their central defense a priority in preparation for the upcoming transfer windows, and they are reportedly interested in Sporting Lisbon center back Diomande.

Amorim ‘has had some communication with his former Sporting Lisbon star Ousmane Diomande about a prospective transfer to Old Trafford,’ according to Caught Offside, who claims that new Man Utd boss.

While Amorim is eager to collaborate with him once more, Sporting is expected to insist on Diomande’s release clause in the event that other teams express interest in him.

Sources tell Caught Offside: “Man Utd will be in pole position to sign the Ivory Coast international due to Amorim’s presence.” However, they also mention that Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are interested in Diomande.

Gyokeres, who is Diomande’s teammate, reportedly “rejected both offers” from Manchester United and Arsenal, thus he might not wind up at Old Trafford.
