“I don’t need Gyokeres here but you see that particular player, we must do everything possible to sign him…He’s the type of player I really like”: Man United’s new coach Ruben Amorim dismissed Gyokeres pursuit, request for another talented player instead
Ruben Amorim has spent a significant period of his coaching career so far in Portugal. It is only now that he has moved abroad to England as he aims to take on an elite and near impossible challenge of building Manchester United back up to their glory days.
The Portuguese tactician is one of the highly-rated young coaches in the world and rightly so.
Sporting CP, in their 3-4-3 formation that Amorim used to deploy, played some exciting brand of football, even beating sides like Manchester City in the recent past.
Amorim is likely to do the same thing at Manchester United and but this system needs players who are tailored to a specific profile and one of the most demanding positions in his system is that of the wing-backs.
On the right, the Red Devils are well sorted with Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot but from the left, things look bleak for Amorim.
Thus, as per Caught Offside, the 39-year-old coach has demanded Man Utd the signature of Benfica left-back Alvaro Carrera.
