One weak point for Manchester United this season is the left wing-back position, and now a potential solution is being considered.
For Ruben Amorim, there will be two positions of high importance to strengthen in 2026, with the midfield priority number one, and a close second place will be left wing-back.
Diogo Dalot has grown into the position lately; however, he is still far from ideal in the wing-back role of this system.
On the right side, Amad is perfect for United’s 3-4-2-1 system, and Manchester United would ideally want to replicate his attacking quality on the left.
Now, an exciting choice for this has been linked.
Manchester United target move for Nilson Angulo
Amorim will be pleased with Dalot over the past couple of weeks, but long-term, United will be looking for a player who is more natural in attacking areas.
Who Is The BIGGEST Missed Man Utd Transfer Target Since The 2000s? ✍️😭
It is time to settle this debate once and for all… 🍿
United had been linked with Antoine Semenyo, as the Bournemouth star would have all the tools to replicate Amad’s impact.
According to Bola VIP, Anderlecht star Nilson Angulo has emerged as a target for the Red Devils.
The South American outlet has claimed that the winger is attracting interest from not only United but also Aston Villa, Liverpool and Tottenham, with the Belgian side looking to receive around £26.5m.
Right now, Villa are the favourites to sign Angulo, but there is expected to be a growing number of clubs showing interest.
Nilson Angulo is having a superb season at Anderlecht
The 22-year-old is currently in the midst of a top-class season in Belgium, playing regularly and racking up three goals and five assists in 16 league games.
Would Nilson Angulo be a good wing-back for Ruben Amorim’s system?
He has the quality in offense and defence…
Angulo is a winger by trade; however, his qualities make him a strong option for United as a wing-back.
Ranked against other full-backs in Europe’s leagues ranked 6th to 20th, Angulo comes out in the 99th percentile for tackles won, also shot-creating actions, take-ons and progressive carries.
Being so good in both aspects of what the wing-back role entails means Angulo is perfect for the Red Devils and Amorim’s system.
