Ruben Amorim is still settling in at Manchester United but the rumour mill continues to churn out speculation surrounding potential transfers.
Manchester United are busy preparing to face Arsenal on Wednesday night and will hope for another positive result under Ruben Amorim.
The new boss has picked up seven points from his first three games in charge, beating both Bodo/Glimt and Everton after a draw at Ipswich Town.
Amorim can be pleased with what he has seen so far, all whilst knowing that there is a long way for United to go.
The January transfer window is looming large and Amorim may be restricted in terms of what he can do in terms of incomings.
United spent considerable cash over the summer and may be forced to wait until next summer to bolster Amorim’s squad.
Manchester United linked with Dutch sensation
That isn’t exactly stopping the speculation though with United linked to a number of potential signings.
Omar Marmoush is on United’s radar after dazzling form at Eintracht Frankfurt whilst Juventus wonderkid Kenan Yildiz is fancied by United.
A new name has now emerged with Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reporting United’s interest in signing Feyenoord talent Antoni Milambo.
Plettenberg claims that Milambo has been on United’s wish list ‘for a long time’ and he has been internally discussed as a potential signing.
Milambo allegedly fits what United are seeking for the future and is likely to be a target for the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old is contracted until 2027 with United potentially looking to raid Feyenoord once again having signed Tyrell Malacia from the Dutch side in 2022.
Who is United target Antoni Milambo?
Milambo hails from Rotterdam and whilst he represents the Netherlands at youth international level, he can also play for DR Congo.
Arne Slot handed Milambo his senior debut at Feyenoord in August 2021 and he has now become a prominent player under Slot’s replacement Brian Priske.
Milambo has bagged six goals from midfield in all competitions this season, including three in the Champions League.
A talented box-to-box midfielder, Milambo has really caught the eye thanks to his quick feet and dribbling ability in tight areas.
Former Feyenoord man Royston Drente has hailed Milambo as ‘ridiculous’ due to his dribbling ability, raving about his ability as quoted by FC Update.
“Ridiculous… his footwork is currently – in my opinion – one of the best I see. He’s very light on his feet,” said Drenthe.
Milambo looks to join the long list of big Feyenoord sales and United may just offer him a role under Amorim moving forward.
