Report: “World-class” star willing to join Man Utd, Amorim thinks he can transform team

The Red Devils are said to be prioritising strengthening the left-hand side of their defence in 2025, with new manager Ruben Amorim desperate to add natural options to his squad to help implement his 3-4-3 system since his arrival from Sporting CP.

According to the report, Amorim believes that signing Mendes would not only solve the team’s defensive problems, but would also add a key attacking component on the left flank.

The rumours surrounding Portugal international Mendes are getting louder, with question marks surrounding his contract situation in the French captial.

Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has previously reported that his contract is due to expire in 2026 and the 22-year-old, who has been described as “one of the best left-backs in the world” and ‘world-class’, is willing to listen to any offers that may come his way – opening the door to a potential exit in 2025.

With PSG aware of the player’s intentions and his contract situation, they would be willing to negotiate a move for him to leave the club in the new year and have set an asking price of around €70m (£58m) according to the report.
