Man Utd now willing to make offer to sign forward who embarrassed Bayindir

Ruben Amorim has endured a mixed opening few months at Manchester United, but the summer transfer window could significantly help his cause at Old Trafford.

Man Utd patiently waiting for the summer transfer window

Truthfully, Manchester United have endured one of their more miserable seasons on recent record despite the arrival of Amorim back in November.

The optimism that emerged following his appointment has begun to fade, with the former Sporting Club boss unable to arrest a collective malaise that has engulfed a squad low on confidence amid an inconsistent run of form.

On Saturday, the Red Devils salvaged a 2-2 draw away to Everton and now sit 15th in the English top-flight. Amorim has won precisely 15 points from 15 Premier League encounters during his spell in charge, with four victories, three draws and eight defeats to his name.

Delving into the market last month, the 40-year-old addressed their problematic left-back position by securing Patrick Dorgu from Lecce for around £29.4 million inclusive of add-ons.

Nevertheless, results have continued to paint a picture of inconsistency. Casting an eye to their upcoming fixture schedule, there is a real chance that the Red Devils’ next five matches could be decisive in the context of this season.

While Manchester United’s Premier League campaign is in danger of coming to an anticlimactic close, competitions such as the Europa League and FA Cup could offer a backdoor route towards continental qualification next term.

Undoubtedly, European football could be a draw for potential new signings as Amorim aims to transform their fortunes, and he now looks to have set his sights on a high-profile forward who has previously done his team severe damage.

Man Utd eye surprise Heung-min Son move

According to reports in Spain, Manchester United have set their sights on Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-min Son amid his contract situation in North London and those at Old Trafford are willing to make a significant offer for his services.

The South Korean icon’s deal will expire in 2026, leading the Red Devils to position themselves for a player they feel could add firepower and experience to their faltering frontline.

Over the course of his time in England, Son has scored five times against Manchester United and has become a regular thorn in their side. Altay Bayindir will recognise that more than most after conceding to the veteran straight from a corner in Spurs’ 4-3 triumph over Amorim’s men in the EFL Cup quarter-final back in December.

Enjoying another profitable campaign, the former Bayer Leverkusen forward has registered ten goals and ten assists in 35 appearances across all competitions this term.

Rasmus Hojlund’s struggles in front of goal at Manchester United have been well-documented over recent months. Joshua Zirkzee also hasn’t covered himself in glory, signifying the need for fresh blood in attack.

Should Son be available for an affordable fee, it may be worth exploring whether the prospect of a new challenge could appeal before the twilight years of his career begin.
