Ruben Amorim comes after taking into account one of the failed transfer goals from Erik ten Hag during his time responsible for Manchester United after being told that he was not for sale two years ago
Manchester United is again connected to Javi Guerra in Valencia, even though he was knocked back two years ago with a clear hands of the La Liga Club. At that time, Erik ten Hag enjoyed his second full summer transfer window in Old Trafford, desperately to improve the Red Devil side that he inherited after the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when he showed interest in Guerra.
The release clause of the 22-year-old midfielder of £ 87 million reportedly attracted the attention of the United Top Brass, who is considering activating it to bring the Spaniard to Old Trafford. Valencia, however, stated that they had no intention of cashing in their wonder kid, which initially rose due to the youth system of Villarreal for a movement of 2019 and signed his first professional contract two years later.
Their sports director Miguel Angel Corona told the mail at the time: “We are fully aware that we have a player with a huge potential for the future and the opportunity to perform at a good level now. That is why the club has definitely moved him to the first team in recent months. It is not in our plans to sell it to a club.”
He added: “For us, the rise of Javi Guerra has not been a surprise. We have been aware of what he is capable of for a long time, we helped him and demand more of him every step of the road, from youth level to the elite.
“He has to continue to work in this way. We must be careful when making assessments about his level or how far he will be able to go, because he is a young player and has a long way for him, but only he, with his daily work, will determine where his limit is.”
In the meantime, Guerra himself admitted in May 2023 that his family had encouraged him to stay in Valencia. He said, “They advise me to stay the same, not to change because all this has cost a lot of work and we have to continue like this.”
The news came as a big blow to Ten Hag, as well as Eddie Howe of Newcastle United, who would also have said that he closely monitored the situation of the young person. United secured Mason Mount from Chelsea in a £ 55 million deal, as well as Sofyan Amrabat on loan from Fiorentina.
However, it now seems as if the Red Devils are in the race again to secure Guerra's services. While United has looked so far to strengthen their front line, with the addition of Matheus Cunha van Wolves and a striving for Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, Ruben Amorim also looks at strengthening the center of the park.
And according to reports in Italy, Guerra seems to be increasingly close to the finally leaving the Spanish sun in favor of North -West -England. Although his hefty release clause is still present, United might be able to look to negotiate a cheaper deal for the talent, since they have already spent large and have a number of other goals across the field this summer.
With Christian Eriksen left and Casemiro's playing time in the Theater of Dreams uncertain, Amorim could look at a younger squadron base to adapt to his patented 3-4-3 system. And Guerra could certainly fit the bill as an excellent partner for Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte, because Kobbie Mainooo's own place in the starting XI in question has been seen that he has had trouble playing in Amorim's style.
He impressed La Liga last season, scored three goals and offered three assists in 36 performances for Valencia, which ended a respectable 12th in the rankings. And with a wrestling United that ends a record-run 15th in the Premier League, Amorim will gladly find more stability and calmness in the heart of midfield for next season.
