“Dream Man United line-up upon completion of January transfer window: Nuno Mendez deal, Gyokeres agreement, Rashford departure” Amorim intended to implement three modifications to the attacking lineup.
Manchester United are expected to prioritize the acquisition of a left back in the upcoming year, as Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia’s fragile fitness records may necessitate that Ruben Amorim employ Diogo Dalot in the position, as his predecessor Erik ten Hag did.
Antonee Robinson and Milos Kerkez have already been associated with the Red Devils; however, it is anticipated that there will be intense competition for both Premier League players next summer. Man United is also investigating their options from abroad, as their proposition will be a challenging prospect.
Florian Plettenberg, a journalist for Sky Sport Germany, has reported that the English giants are also “strongly interested” in Nuno Mendes of Paris Saint-Germain. The Portuguese international’s contract in France is set to expire in June 2026, and despite speculation regarding a potential extension, PSG has made no offer to him.
Given that it will be the final year of Mendes’ contract at the Parc des Princes, United may attempt to acquire him at a reduced transfer fee if he and PSG are unable to extend their contracts by next summer. It is anticipated that they will have an advantage in the decision to acquire the player, as Amorim and Mendes are both represented by the same management agency.
The validity of Mendes’ signature is uncertain.
Nuno Mendes has been praised as a player with tremendous potential and has enjoyed a trophy-laden career at Paris Saint-Germain. Nevertheless, the 22-year-old possesses a number of vulnerabilities that could be exposed in the Premier League.
Defensively, the former Sporting Lisbon fullback is not the most formidable. In the Ligue 1, his statistics at the defense are visually appealing; however, in the Champions League, he has been frequently dismantled by superior players. Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim may still capitalize on his offensive capabilities by employing him as a wingback.
Mendes is valued at £45 million on Transfermarkt; however, it will be intriguing to observe his price next year if Paris Saint-Germain fails to renew his contract and Manchester United indicates a desire to acquire him.
