"Manchester United's three centre-back formation could be supplemented with another highly-rated defender next summer. Ruben Amorim has favoured a setup which employs three central defenders with full-backs pushed slightly higher up the pitch on either side. While Manchester United's tactics have been criticised, the team appear to have turned a corner in recent weeks - the odd poor result aside."
"A Bola report that Diomande is 'resisting' contract renegotiations at the Estadio Jose Alvalade and with only 18 months remaining on his deal, Sporting could be forced into a sale over the next few months, if they are to extract maximum value from one of their premium assets. Sporting are keen to extend Diomande's stay until 2030, protecting his transfer value in the process, but so far negotiations have stalled."
Ruben Amorim employs a three centre-back formation with full-backs pushed higher, a setup linked to recent tactical adjustments at Manchester United. The team has shown improvement in recent weeks despite some poor results and an imperfect defensive record, sitting seventh in the Premier League. Manchester United have been given a green light to advance negotiations with Sporting over 21-year-old centre-back Ousmane Diomande. The Ivorian has attracted interest from Crystal Palace and Newcastle but is likely to favour a move to Manchester United if a concrete approach emerges. Diomande is resisting contract renegotiations, with 18 months left, leaving Sporting vulnerable to a sale as talks to extend to 2030 have stalled.
