Bruno Fernandes rejected a sky-high move to Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Crescent, and on the positive side, United left the core of the past five years, but on the other hand, the British media felt they missed their 'Coutinho moment'. It is known that Coutinho's transfer to Barcelona left Liverpool with £142 million, and Klopp used the money to sign Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, and later won the Premier League and Champions League.
If the 30-year-old joins Riyadh Crescent, Manchester United is expected to get a transfer fee of around 100 million pounds, which can allow Amorim to bring in new signings, but this has now come to naught. Not only that, after being rejected by B Fee, Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Saudi owner immediately contacted the agent team of Brazilian defender Ederson of Serie A Atalanta.
Riyadh Crescent have brought in Simeone Inzaghi as the manager, and Ederson is a player that the new boss admires, and they are likely to make an official offer soon, which will almost certainly be accepted by the cash-strapped Italian side. Ironically, Ederson has been rumoured with Manchester United for the past two years and is considered a replacement for Casemiro.
Fernandes Fernandes announced that they would stay at the club, which means that Manchester United's summer purge has not yet started successfully. Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho have all been confirmed to be returned on loan, with the Reds receiving £5 million in compensation from Chelsea, but this is only enough to pay Sancho 20 weeks (four months) of wages, and it would be a waste of money to not sell them soon.
Moreover, if he does not sell the player for cash, Amorim will have no more money to continue buying. BRITISH MEDIA "GIVEMESPORT" REPORTED THAT AMORIM MAY HAVE TO DIG INSIDE, FOR EXAMPLE, TO GIVE 20-YEAR-OLD ENGLAND MIDFIELDER KOBE MEINO ANOTHER CHANCE TO RETURN TO A CENTRAL MIDFIELD POSITION TO REINVENT HIMSELF.
Manchester United are still in talks with Meno for a new contract, and his agent has angered fans by asking for £200,000 a week. But if he lowers his demand for a contract extension, Amorim will give him the opportunity to make a name for himself in his preferred midfield position. At the end of last season, Amorim had opted to move Maynor forward, but with the addition of Cunha and the prospect of Mbeumo coming in, the number 10 is already full, so there is no need to use Mayno again.
Sources have learned that Manchester United are not actively seeking to sell Meno, especially after Eriksen leaves the Premier League at the end of his contract, and as long as the academy "new star" renews his contract, there is still a chance to fight for the main team, and his rivals are Ugarte and Casemiro.
It has been learned that United have been very open with Mayno during contract negotiations, informing him of his future role in the team and how he will fit into Amorim's tactics. At the same time, Manchester United have made it clear that they want to work with him on development plans to improve his ability and perform at his best, rather than just trying to make money.
United are keen to develop Mayno into a faster, stronger and more combative midfielder, as Rajue admitted to Amorim that the club would have struggled to find the funds to bring in Ederson from Atalanta for a price tag of at least €60 million, so boosting Maynor's talent would help solve the team's midfield problems.
Of course, if Meno is still thinking about a high salary, or applies for a transfer on his own, then the club will also have to accept to sell him, which will bring a pure profit from the transfer fee.
According to The Sun, Amorim told Meno and his Manchester United team-mates to be prepared for hard training this summer. It is said that the 40-year-old Portuguese young coach will arrange a summer training and ask the non-international players to return to Carrington earlier than in the past, and the first group of players may return to training at the end of this month! Mayno could be one of them, with the likes of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw all missing Thomas Tuchel's England squad this month.
Amorim has asked the United players to improve their fitness levels and return to play in mid-July. Amorim is said to aim that players must be able to press any opponent like white on rice, and if they can't, they will be discarded. The United boss even asked where his players were going on holiday, and he didn't want to leave anything to chance.
