Rúben Amorim, current coach of Manchester United, has made it clear that he will not seek players from his former team, Sporting de Portugal, during the upcoming winter transfer market. However, this has not prevented the Portuguese coach from suggesting a strategic signing from the Primeira Liga to the Red Devils' board: Tomás Araújo, a young center-back from Benfica.

At just 22 years old, Araújo has established himself as a key player in the Lisbon team's defense. His outstanding season has not gone unnoticed by Amorim, who believes the defender possesses the necessary qualities to strengthen a United defense that has shown obvious vulnerabilities so far this season. According to reports from The Sun, the coach particularly values his passing ability, physical strength, and developmental potential, characteristics that make him an ideal fit for the English club's project.

The main obstacle for this move would be Benfica's stance, a club known for protecting its talents with high release clauses. It is estimated that any negotiations for Araújo would hover around 50 million euros, posing a challenge for the Red Devils if they decide to follow Amorim's suggestions. Additionally, Chelsea is also reportedly monitoring the player, which could further complicate United's interest.

This potential signing would reflect Amorim's influence on Manchester United's sports planning and his commitment to emerging talents from Portuguese football. With the transfer market drawing closer, the Red Devils' decision will shape the course of a defense that urgently needs an injection of quality and solidity.
