Samu Omorodion of FC Porto is allegedly a target for Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim during the January transfer window.

On Wednesday, Amorim suffered his first defeat as United’s manager when Arsenal defeated the Red Devils at the Emirates by taking advantage of set pieces. Despite playing strong defense, United found it difficult to generate opportunities and was unable to really test Arsenal’s defense. This circumstance emphasizes how Amorim must improve his attacking alternatives in January in order to contend with teams such as Arsenal.

According to reports, Amorim has informed the United board of his intention to attack reinforcements. A Football365 report from Spain claims that Amorim has stated that acquiring Omorodion is a major goal for the next transfer window.

The striker joined Porto from Atletico Madrid this summer, and in 16 games across all categories, including a brace against United in the Europa League, he has already scored 13 goals. Porto benefited because Chelsea, who had also expressed interest in him during the summer, was eventually unable to complete his deal.

If United makes a real effort to sign him, Porto might find it difficult to hold onto him given his impressive start. Since Omorodion’s early days in Spain and his breakthrough performance in Portugal, Amorim has been keeping an eye on his development and has particularly asked the team to sign the 20-year-old.

With talks surrounding a possible offer of roughly 60 million euros, the United board apparently supports this move and is willing to make a large financial commitment, which could convince Porto to leave with their star player.

Furthermore, Omorodion is rumored to be interested in joining one of the greatest teams in the globe after missing out on a move to the Premier League in the past.
