Recently, The Independent revealed the breaking news that EPL giants Manchester United are secretly searching for a new left-back with the intention of strengthening the team's strategic layout and overall competitiveness. It is reported that United's senior management has made the locking up of Wolves left-back Ate Nouri a priority in the winter transfer window, and this strategy has received the full support of manager Paul Amorim.
Amorim deeply understands the key role of left back in the team's tactical system, and thus is eager to bring in a player of extraordinary strength to enhance the team's defensive toughness and richness of attacking means. Ate Nouri, as the main left back of Wolves, has managed to catch the eye of United's management with his excellent defensive talent and solid performance.
But it hasn't all been plain sailing for United on the road to reinforcement. They originally saw Paris Saint-Germain's Nuno Mendes as their first choice, and given their past relationship, Mendes' insight into the team's tactics speaks for itself. However, Paris Saint-Germain's €60 million bid for Mendes and his high salary demands have left United in financial trouble.
In order to achieve the goal of attracting reinforcements, the management of Manchester United is weighing whether to sell existing players to raise funds. Paris Saint-Germain also wants to keep Mendes, which makes United's recruitment strategy face unprecedented challenges. Against this backdrop, the United management is forced to think long and hard about exploring other possible left-back options.
