"Manchester United had a strong summer in terms of recruitment, but there are still areas Ruben Amorim would like to address. The last window saw them bring in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to boost their attack, and Senne Lammens to solve another problem position between the sticks. But there are still issues to solve in the centre of the pitch, and reports suggest that this will be the Red Devils' next focus."
"In Amorim's 3-4-2-1, the two advanced midfield positions are pretty much locked down, with Cunha and Mbeumo the key figures, and the likes of Mason Mount and Amad in reserve. The two deeper midfielders are still a slight issue, however, with Bruno Fernandes playing an adapted role, and Casemiro alongside him, who has been one of Manchester United's best players this season. But the Brazilian is not getting any younger and is out of contract at the end of this campaign, while Amorim does not appear sold on Kobbie Mainoo."
"It's for that reason, therefore, that the Old Trafford outfit have launched a bid for Greek midfielder Christos Mouzakitis, according to a report from Sportime. The 18-year-old plays in the centre of the park for Olympiacos, having appeared in all but two of their Super League games, while racking up five UEFA Champions League outings against the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Arsenal. Los Blancos, according to the Greek outlet, are the current other main candidates for Mouzakitis' signature, clearly having enjoyed what they saw in that game."
Manchester United added Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and goalkeeper Senne Lammens during the last transfer window but still seek central midfield reinforcements. Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 secures the advanced midfield roles, while the two deeper midfield positions remain a concern, with Bruno Fernandes in an adapted role and Casemiro ageing and nearing contract end. Kobbie Mainoo has not fully convinced Amorim. United have offered €28m for 18-year-old Olympiacos central midfielder Christos Mouzakitis, who has featured regularly in the Super League and played five Champions League matches; Real Madrid are also interested and Olympiacos values him at €40m.
