New Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reported to have identified Flamengo’s teenage star Lorran as his first signing at the club with Antony used in a swap deal and with the Brazil international coming to a big realisation over his Old Trafford future.
The Portuguese coach arrived in the northwest on Monday to begin a new era after being chosen as the successor to Erik ten Hag and the sixth permanent manager at Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped away over 11 years ago. Having enjoyed two title wins in four seasons with Sporting Lisbon, the Red Devils will hope that Amorim is the man to finally restore the glory days to Old Trafford.
Inheriting a squad that has badly underperformed so far this season, Amorim’s first task will be to get a more consistent tune out of the squad he has taken on.
But with the January window just around the corner and due to officially open for business in just 48 days, Amorim will have an immediate chance to bring in some new players and move on any he feels will not play a part in his long-term vision.
To that end, it’s been reported this week that both Joshua Zirkzee and Antony will both be made available for transfer in January – and according to TBR Football, Amorim has already identified Flamengo teen Lorran as his first recruit in January.
