BREAKING NEWS: “I greatly admire his attacking skills, and I can’t understand how Manchester United could let such a talented player leave so easily. One of my top priorities upon arriving at Old Trafford will be to bring him back,” said Ruben Amorim. Reports indicate that Manchester United is considering re-signing a former player, with new manager Amorim closely observing the situation. He has a strong interest in the recently departed star and believes in the potential of bringing him back to the club.

Ruben Amorim is wasting no time eyeing potential transfers for Manchester United, with reports indicating his strong interest in Benfica’s young left-back, Alvaro Fernandez. Scheduled to officially start at Old Trafford in November, Amorim sees Fernandez as an ideal candidate to reinforce a left-back position that has caused United issues this season.

Injuries to Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw have left the club short on options, making Fernandez an even more attractive prospect for Amorim’s plans.

Fernandez, only 21 years old, has had a notable start to his football career. He joined Manchester United’s academy in 2020 with hopes of establishing himself in the Premier League but, instead, spent his time on loan to gain experience in different leagues.

His journey included a stint at Preston North End in the English Championship, a move to Granada in Spain, and eventually, a place with Benfica in Portugal’s Primeira Liga. Impressed with his development, Benfica exercised a £5 million purchase option to secure Fernandez permanently during the last summer transfer window.

Recent reports from GiveMeSport suggest that United might be considering a move to bring Fernandez back, having retained a buyback clause in his Benfica contract. This clause would allow United to re-sign him for roughly £16.7 million, offering the club a versatile and cost-effective solution for their left-back needs. This approach aligns with United’s strategic goals under their new INEOS ownership.

Amorim’s interest in Fernandez is grounded in first-hand experience. As Sporting CP’s manager, Benfica’s primary rival in Portugal, he has observed Fernandez’s talent closely. Fernandez’s youth, speed, and offensive capabilities on the left side would fit Amorim’s tactical style and could help strengthen United’s defense for the future.

Nevertheless, Amorim remains with Sporting CP until he fulfills his notice period, during which he will face high-profile matches, including a challenging game against Manchester City.

His upcoming schedule with United will feature notable games against Ipswich Town, Bodo/Glimt, and Everton, where he will aim to make an immediate impact.

For now, the potential return of Fernandez to Manchester United has generated excitement among fans and analysts alike. Given his familiarity with the club and recent progress in Portugal, Fernandez might be precisely the reinforcement United needs to address their left-back issues.
