Manchester United’s five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, the longest under Ruben Amorim, came to a disappointing end on Monday when 10-man Everton beat them 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Although the defeat and the manner in which it occurred were unusual, it appears that United will give Amorim enough time to assert his authority and may even support him in the transfer window as he continues to rebuild the squad.
Diario AS reported this that Ruben Amorim is planning to bring a midfielder to Manchester United, possibly in January, and that the Red Devils are already ‘taking the lead’ to sign Atletico Madrid star Conor Gallagher.
It is believed that a number of other Premier League clubs are also interested in signing the former Chelsea star. which could leave the Spanish capital for £50 millionafter falling out of favor under Diego Simeone.
Gallagher a considerable investment
Conor Gallagher’s £50million price tag could prove to be a reasonable sum in the future if he lives up to expectations at Manchester United. At 25 years old, he promises to be a good asset for the club in the medium to long term.
United need someone with aggression and energy in midfield, and Gallagher brings those qualities to the table through his brilliant pressing, possession-winning abilities and willingness to go all out out of possession.
In addition to his off-the-ball attributes, he is also good at passing the ball and especially turning between the wide men, while his late runs into the penalty area, combined with decent heading, also make him a goal threat.
Gallagher has played in the Premier League before and knows the competition well. Having played far less than he would have liked at Atletico Madrid, he may also be willing to return to his homeland in January to join a big club like United.
