Dramatic Changes at Manchester United

In a dramatic turn of events at Manchester United, newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly gearing up for a major overhaul of the team's attacking lineup in 2025. Insiders suggest that the Portuguese coach is far from impressed with most of his forwards, leading to speculation that several key players may be shown the exit door.

Targeting New Strikers

According to a report by El Nacional, Amorim is poised to sell both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, the team’s current strikers. Hojlund, who joined the club in the summer for a hefty €85 million from Atalanta, has underwhelmed with just 12 goals in 41 Premier League appearances. Meanwhile, Zirkzee, brought in from Bologna for €42 million, has been equally disappointing, managing only three goals in the league.

Eyes on Victor Osimhen

As Amorim seeks to revamp his squad, he has set his sights on securing a top-tier number nine. Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli and available for a €75 million release clause come January, is said to be a prime target for the Red Devils.

Concerns Over Rashford and Others

The situation doesn't look promising for Marcus Rashford either. Following a recent public declaration of his desire for "a new challenge" in 2025, sources claim that Amorim may be inclined to offload the England international. Rashford’s performances have reportedly diminished over the past 18 months, raising questions about his future at Old Trafford.

Adding to the concern, young winger Alejandro Garnacho is facing scrutiny for his attitude, while Antony has struggled since moving from Ajax in 2022 for an eye-watering €100 million, making him one of the biggest flops in recent transfer history.

Amad Diallo's Future

Interestingly, the only attacker considered safe under Amorim’s regime appears to be Amad Diallo, who has started to flourish in his new role. Since taking over at the beginning of November, Amorim's impact on the squad has been closely monitored, especially after a thrilling 2-1 victory against Manchester City in their last league encounter, although they suffered a narrow 4-3 defeat to the same rivals in the League Cup just days later.

Looking Ahead

In this pivotal moment for Manchester United, all eyes will be on how this anticipated reshuffle unfolds and what it means for the club's ambitions in future seasons. Will Amorim find the right players to build his vision, or will the club continue to struggle in the wake of its storied past? Stay tuned!
