Champions League star 'prepared' to make shock move to Man Utd after Ruben Amorim appointment

One Champions League star is reportedly ready to join Ruben Amorim's Manchester United rebuild.

Next week, Portuguese Amorim will leave Sporting Lisbon to become the new head coach at Old Trafford.

The 39-year-old will take over from Dutchman Erik ten Hag, who was sacked after United's 2-1 defeat by West Ham United last month.

A club statement read: “Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as Head Coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements.

“He will join until June 2027 with a club option of an additional year, once he has fulfilled his obligations to his current club. He will join Manchester United on Monday 11 November.”

Looking ahead to the transfer window, it has been claimed that Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has made his demand to United.

As reported by Give Me Sport, Davies has stated his wish to receive a signing on fee of £10 million if he is to depart Bavaria for Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old is poised to leave Bayern at the end of the 24/25 season as a free agent upon the expiration of his current contract.

However, it has been suggested that Davies' wage demand of £240,000 per week could hamper the deal.

Speaking about his future last month, Davies said: "As of now, my full focus is to stay healthy and to play the game with the club I'm with right now.

"I'm not focused on what's going on in the future."

Davies added: "I'm just focusing on staying healthy and helping my team win. My team make me feel valued. The whole Bayern community make me feel valued. I see that each and every day."

When asked about new Bayern boss Vincent Kompany, Davies said: "He is a very brilliant guy. The way that we're playing now is very intense.

"He picks the best team and the best players to put on the team that train well. Every training session is a battle for the starting spot. Nothing is guaranteed. The way he talks to the team, he is polite but firm. He has ideas and we're executing them well."
