Manager Urges Ruben Amorim to Sign £100m Star After Training Boycott Over Manchester United Move

Refusal to Train Sparks £100m Transfer Storm as Manager Tells Ruben Amorim to ‘Come and Get Him’

 

 

In a dramatic twist to the summer transfer window, tensions have reached boiling point between a top-flight club and one of its marquee players. According to sources close to the situation, the £100m-rated star has refused to return to training after his transfer request to join Manchester United was rejected last week.

 

The player, whose identity has not yet been officially disclosed, reportedly informed the club of his desire to make the high-profile switch to Old Trafford. However, the board stood firm, insisting that United’s initial approaches fell short of their valuation. Since then, the player has allegedly refused to participate in any team activities, sparking frustration within the dressing room and management.

 

The club’s manager, clearly exasperated by the standoff, has now gone public with an extraordinary plea directed at Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim — the man tipped to be most interested in securing the player’s services.

 

“He has refused to resume training with us ever since his transfer request to join Man United was declined last week. This is strange to me. Ruben Amorim should come and have him now because he no longer has any place in my squad,” the manager said.

 

The statement has sent shockwaves across the football world, with speculation mounting that Amorim and Sporting CP could swoop in to take advantage of the breakdown in relations. Sources suggest that the Lisbon giants could explore a loan deal with an obligation to buy, although matching the club’s £100m asking price remains a significant hurdle.

 

For Manchester United, this saga could represent another opening to secure their target — if they choose to re-enter negotiations with an improved offer. With the player seemingly adamant about leaving, and the manager publicly declaring him surplus to requirements, the pressure is on for all parties to find a swift resolution before the transfer window slams shut.

 

This situation has all the ingredients for one of the summer’s most explosive moves — and if the manager’s wish comes true, Ruben Amorim might just be adding another big-name player to his squad in the

coming days.
