RUBEN AMORIM FIRST SIGNING CONFIRMED: Manchester United now on the verge of securing their first signing under Amorim as the player have agreed to lower His wages to be part of Amorim project

The first signing of Ruben Amorim has been confirmed, and Manchester United is now on the verge of sealing their first signing under Amorim. The player has agreed to reduce his earnings in order to be a part of the Amorim project.

During the month of January, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly interested in bringing Benfica defender Alvaro Carreras to Old Trafford. This information comes from Correio da Manha.

Recently, the Red Devils announced that Amorim would be taking over as their new head coach. It is quite possible that the Portuguese coach would make some adjustments to the team in order to accommodate his favoured 3-4-2-1 system throughout his tenure.

Amorim is reportedly interested in transferring Carreras to United at the beginning of the year, as reported by Correio da Manha. Liverpool is another team that has a strong interest in the left-back, but Manchester United is now in a better position to get him.

United has the ability to recruit the 21-year-old player for a buy-back price of only £17 million, despite the fact that his contract contains a release clause of £42 million. Only a few short months after leaving Old Trafford permanently, Carreras may make a comeback to the club.

Deal on January 1
As a result of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia being sidelined for the beginning of the season, United has begun the season with makeshift left-backs. There have been three people who have held the position: Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, and Lisandro Martinez.

Amorim may still attempt to recruit Carreras, who has previous experience playing as a wing-back, despite the fact that Shaw and Malacia are anticipated to recover from their respective ailments after the international break.

The 21-year-old has spent the majority of his time at left back for Benfica; but, when on loan at Preston, he was able to operate from the left wing-back position.

Considering the pricing that was indicated, Carreras would be an excellent purchase overall. Throughout this season, the Spaniard has won more than two tackles each game and has recovered five balls. Additionally, he has triumphed in more than sixty percent of the duels that he has engaged in.

Additionally, the United graduate has excelled with his distribution in the other team’s half of the pitch. As an aggressive full-back, he would be an excellent candidate for Amorim’s left wing-back position going forward. He would be suitable for the position.

In the event that Amorim makes the decision to re-sign Carreras during the subsequent transfer window, there is a serious potential that the Red Devils would permanently unload either Shaw or Malacia at the conclusion of the current season.

Due to the fact that Shaw will be 30 the following year and has had ongoing worries over his injuries, he is the most likely candidate to leave the team.
