“I’m a big fan of his attacking prowess, I don’t know how Man United can let such an amazing attacker go so easily. One the first things I will do once I get to Old Trafford is bring him back ” – This is according to Ruben Amorim as Manchester United is reportedly compelled to push for the re-signing a former player, with new manager Ruben Amorim closely monitoring the situation. Amorim is said to hold a strong interest in the recently departed United star, seeing potential in bringing him back to Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim appears to have already set his sights on a potential Manchester United signing, with reports indicating that he is keen on Benfica’s young full-back, Alvaro Fernandez.

The 21-year-old previously joined United’s academy in 2020 but didn’t make a senior appearance, spending most of his time out on loan with teams like Preston North End, Granada, and Benfica, who activated a £5 million purchase clause this summer.

According to GiveMeSport, Manchester United might explore re-signing Fernandez by triggering his buyback clause, which is set at approximately £16.7 million.

With ongoing injury issues plaguing current left-backs Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw, Amorim may see Fernandez as an ideal fit, especially as he offers a youthful, cost-effective option under United’s new INEOS ownership.

While Amorim admires Fernandez’s abilities—having observed him while coaching Benfica’s rivals, Sporting—the new United manager won’t officially step in until November due to a contractual notice period.

One of his last matches with Sporting will be against Manchester City, adding excitement before his first United fixtures, which include games against Ipswich Town, Bodo/Glimt, and Everton.
