Manchester United prepare to make £85m move to upgrade Jarnacho who is 'England's best midfielder'

More misery at Old Trafford on Sunday, with… Reuben Amorim's Manchester United defeated by Brighton and Hove Albion To erase the feel-good factor that arose at Anfield just a week ago.

The cyclical nature of United's form is deeply worrying, with the ability to produce dazzling, direct performances evident within the Red Devils' mix but delivered inconsistently.

Bruno Fernandes He cut to a dejected figure making his way through the tunnel, the seagulls cheering around him. Perhaps his revealed fear had become a reality. Liverpool were a flash in the pan. United are back to the old ways.

Amorim clearly has the tactical mentality to achieve great things, but some of the players at his disposal won't do so in the long term. Man United need new signings, and they need to do it right.

Who does Man United want to sell?

Marcus Rashford He looks set to leave his boyhood club this month, perhaps on loan but likely with a view to a permanent future elsewhere.

Anthony too Close in winter move To Real Betis, making room for some space on the spacious wings for investment. United's problems have been eased by the growth of Amad Diallo, but the 22-year-old cannot be expected to carry the weight of Old Trafford on his back, and support is needed.

Maybe this wing will do the trick.

Man United are chasing the signing of the exciting winger

According to Sky Germany, Manchester United have a concrete interest in signing Borussia Dortmund winger Jimmy Gittins, who has been on a tear in the Bundesliga this season.

Dortmund has previously stated that it will seek… A staggering €100m (£85m) Payday for the 20-year-old to exit, but it has since been revealed that the 10th-placed side will cede their negotiating power if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

With Anthony and Rashford gone, this would be a fantastic signing for the Amorim side, providing United with new quality to lead a new era.

but, Fabrizio Romano confirmed Premier League rivals such as Chelsea and Liverpool are preparing to make their moves, so it is important for INEOS to act quickly.

Why would Jimmy Gittens be perfect for Manchester United?

Gittens' emergence has come at an impressive pace, with young talent shining last season under Edin Terzic, in particular He collected eight assists In all competitions, he settled in the first stage during the final months of the campaign.

He is young and flexible enough for Amorim to coax him into his own determination, and while the left-winger looks like the natural heir to Rashford, he is… Alejandro Garnacho Who can prove his superiority.

Chelsea and Napoli are interested In Garnacho this month, but it seems unlikely that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will give the go-ahead to sell the Argentine, given the small exodus already taking place.

The 20-year-old has practical quality and is very dynamic and aggressive when on his game. However, Manchester United could find themselves enjoying the talent of a better winger in Gittins, as the Englishman has an exemplary scoring record and can take on the magical role on stage.

Garnacho has it He scored eight goals and added five assists During 32 appearances this season, but he has only scored three times in the Premier League, with the men’s Samuel Luckhurst noting that the winger “He did not distinguish himself“In his final matches under Amorim after being ostracized from the first team squad over the festive period.

According to FBrefGittens ranks among the top 7% of his peers in the Bundesliga this season in terms of non-penalty goals scored, as well as the top 1% in terms of progressive carries and successful passes per 90, demonstrating the type of electric goal-scoring winger like Amorim will be wearing his gloves on. .

Garnacho, by comparison, He ranks in the top 51% for non-kick goalstop 8% for progressive passes and among the worst 32% for successful strikes in the Premier League, confirming that English talent is, in fact, more efficient.

A carry is considered progressive if the ball is carried towards the opponent's goal at least 10 yards from its starting point or carried into the penalty area.

Perhaps most impressive is Gittins' ability to hit the mark across multiple competitions, as he has also been well placed for the Yellow Wall throughout his Champions League campaign, with Dortmund currently sitting in ninth place, one point behind the Automata.

One of the most striking aspects of Gittens' skill set has to be his clinical excellence, as he has missed four big chances in two key competitions for Dortmund this season while scoring 11 goals – an excellent strike rate.

In fact, the wide striker has been hailed as 'England's best left winger in 2024/25' by Dougie Critchletty from Sky Sportssuggesting that Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel will be keeping a close eye on the rising star, who could find himself in some exciting talks across 2025.

It's just more transfer fuel as far as United are concerned, but there is no doubt that if Gittens succeeds in translating his German and European form to English shores, he could unleash United's attacking ability under Amorim's wing.

Ultimately, Amorim entered the disaster zone at Old Trafford, and have so far struggled to establish the kind of lasting synergy that has been missing for so long.

Some might say that United have regressed since the Portuguese took over, but he simply needs more time to assert his authority over one of the world's biggest football institutions.

Will he be the one to lead Manchester United into the limelight? He will need signings, and with Gittins on the market and attracting the interest of some of the country's biggest hitters, United need to ensure they are the team to welcome him back home.
