Manchester United have a new striker popping up on their radar as head coach Ruben Amorim reportedly sets his eyes on Porto's excellent striker Samu Omorodion. Could this 20-year-old Spaniard be the key to reviving United's attack and reviving their title chances?
Omorodion has been making headlines in Liga Portugal after joining Porto from Atletico Madrid in the summer. A consistent goal scorer, he's caught the attention of United amid a meteoric rise that shows no signs of slowing down.
Why Does Manchester United Want To Sign Samu Omorodion?
Manchester United's defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday (December 4) showed a significant problem. The Red Devils' attack isn't sharp enough to compete with the best team in the league. Amorim appears to think that Omorodion's ability to score goals and use his pace to influence play can solve this issue.
Football 365 reports that Amorim has been a close follower of Omorodion's game ever since he started playing in Spain. The Portuguese manager wants to bring the striker to United as soon as possible because he thinks he will be an excellent fit for the team's future. The report stated that Amorim 'has made his priority clear for the upcoming transfer window'.
In order to get Omorodion, Manchester United will be expected to spend a hefty sum of money. Porto might be prepared to sell their star man but only for a fee of around €60 million. This number shows both Spain international's current performance and its potential for future growth. Any team that signs him could make a lot of money if they do.
United fans are hopeful the club will be hoping the club can sign a player of Omorodion's ilk because of a tough ongoing season, especially in front of goal. His arrival could give the team the much-needed boost they've been missing. The Porto forward is the right player for Amorim's tactical vision because he can adapt quickly and make a big difference.
