Manchester United eyes the signing of Konrad Laimer at the insistence of Rubén Amorim
manchester united Boss Ruben Amorim suffered his first defeat in his new position when Arsenal beat his team 2-0 earlier this week. The Portuguese had already hinted that the club needed to do some work if it wanted to regain its glory days and it seems that he is already looking to immerse himself in the transfer market next year.
According to Sky Sport Germany (h/t 90min)The Red Devils are considering signing Bayern Munich midfielder Konrad Laimer at the insistence of Amorim. Vincent Kompany has used the 27-year-old little this season, playing just 754 minutes in 16 appearances in all competitions, raising doubts over his future.
With casemiro and Christian Eriksen face uncertainty over their future at Old Trafford, it is no surprise that Manchester United are looking for a new central midfielder to compete with Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte. Although Bruno Fernandes has played alongside the Uruguayan in recent matches, his long-term future is likely to lie in the final third of the team.
Laimer not interested in Man United move
Manchester United have long had an interest in Konrad Laimer, who preferred to join Bayern Munich over them when he left RB Leipzig a couple of years ago. They have apparently rekindled their pursuit of the £25m German international. at Transfermarktalthough the player does not seem very interested in the move, according to BILD.
It is true that Laimer would like to play more minutes at Bayern Munich, according to the source, but he remains committed to fighting for a place in the team rather than leaving Manchester United. As such, it is no surprise considering he regularly fights for titles and plays in the champions league at the Allianz-Arena.
It remains to be seen if Ruben Amorim has any alternatives on his wish list, although it is fair to assume that any transfer of a deeper midfielder would be dependent on Manchester United parting ways with Casemiro next year, given his considerable wage bill.
