According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Manchester United is considering a summer transfer to get Martin Zubimendi, a midfielder for Real Sociedad, in exchange for Ruben Amorim.
Despite his difficulties since taking over in November, INEOS hopes to rebuild the team in the image of their new manager, and the Red Devils are anticipated to supervise a significant roster change this summer.
Old Trafford’s financial limitations force them to search the market for value, and Spain international Zubimendi is one player who is currently becoming a target.

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, even though Manuel Ugarte has become a vital member of the team under Amorim, Manchester United is still hoping to bolster their roster in the summer transfer season.
The manager has admitted that Casemiro and Christian Eriksen don’t provide the dynamic energy needed, so it is anticipated that they will be let go this summer. Additionally, there are concerns about Kobbie Mainoo being used in the deeper midfield position because he lacks the speed and stamina to play there and is more productive higher up the pitch.

Given Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee’s struggles this season, a new striker is viewed as Old Trafford’s top priority. However, a central midfielder is also high on the list, and Man Utd is anticipated to closely examine Zubimendi when they play Real Sociedad in the Europa League last 16 this week.
The manager of his national team has called the Spaniard “one of the best midfielders in the world.” Last summer, the Spaniard turned down a move to Liverpool in order to remain with his boyhood club.
However, a move to the Premier League appears to be the most likely destination, and a deal is anticipated to occur this summer. In a market when INEOS are tightening their budget restraints, Zubimendi’s £51 million release clause is an incredible deal.
A move to Arsenal is “extremely likely,” according to reports from other sources, although it’s unclear if they can persuade him to come up north now that Manchester United is in the running.
