New Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim is reportedly advocating for a complete revamp of the club’s scouting network. According to the Mirror, Amorim believes United have fallen behind in identifying top talent, particularly from his native Portugal, a region he considers a goldmine of footballing gems.
Amorim’s Vision for Portuguese Talent
Amorim has expressed concerns about United’s inability to capitalize on the talent emerging from Portugal since the discovery of Cristiano Ronaldo at Sporting CP over two decades ago. The United boss is pushing for changes to the club’s scouting methods, aiming to strengthen their focus on Portugal’s Liga Portugal.
“The club needs to spot the next big thing early,” Amorim reportedly stated, emphasizing the importance of remedying past scouting failures. His intent is clear: United must not miss out on future superstars.
The Missed Opportunities
Recent history highlights several instances where United failed to secure rising Portuguese talents. Players like Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, and Rafael Leão have flourished at other European clubs, while João Neves recently joined PSG, leaving United empty-handed.
Amorim, fresh from managing in Liga Portugal, seems poised to address this issue. Reports suggest that the January transfer window may see United targeting talents such as Viktor Gyökeres and Geovany Quenda. Amorim’s familiarity with Liga Portugal could provide United with a competitive edge in identifying and securing new talent.
A New Era of Scouting Under Amorim
Rúben Amorim’s arrival at Manchester United signals a renewed focus on upgrading the club’s scouting structure, particularly in Portugal. His commitment to identifying the next wave of stars could usher in a new era of success for United in the transfer market.
With January fast approaching, United fans can look forward to seeing whether Amorim’s expertise in Portuguese football translates into game-changing signings for the club.
