Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim admitted after yesterday’s 2-0 defeat to Wolverhampton that now it is all about survival and nothing else. – He sees, like all of us, that Manchester United’s problems run deep and that owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s classic approach of cutting costs and capacity while increasing all prices does not lead to immediate success.
Marcus Rashford, who remains Manchester United’s top scorer this season with six Premier League goals, is out of Ruben Amorim’s matchday squad for the fourth game in a row.
It looks increasingly likely that the 27-year-old has played his last game for the Red Devils. Whether there will be a permanent move in January or a loan remains to be seen. – The Mirror states that the price is £50 million, but Marcus Rasford, who earns £15.6 million a year, will probably have to take a pay cut at the next club, it must be compensated.
Manchester United have started scouting for replacements, and that the club has three names on their wish list. It’s about Napoli’s Khvitsha Kvaratskhelia, Nico Williams at Athletic Bilbao and Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma.
The newspaper writes that Khvitsha Kvaratskhelia is the owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe most likely to see come to Old Trafford.
Napoli’s Georgian midfielder has scored five goals and three assists in 18 appearances this season, while Nico Williams, meanwhile, has two goals and five assists in 23 appearances. Mitoma, who is already familiar with the PL, scored three goals and two assists for Brighton during the autumn.
It is not clear which of the players is at the top of the wish list or how relevant it is with a move in the upcoming window that opens in just a few days.
