Transfer Man United (6/17/2025): Amorim targeting Duo Nice, hasn’t gave up with Onana!

Gilabola.com – Manchester United sent a talent guide to witness the action of Nice midfielder Hicham Boudoui, while defending Algeria against Sweden last week, as Ruben Amorim’s request to recruit strong physical types of players.

After the worst season in the modern history of the club, Amorim along with the new football director, Jason Wilcox, was rebuilding the United squad. The main focus now is to increase strength on the front lines, but the position of midfielder and goalkeeper is also included in priority.

Boudaoui is the main target in the midst of a midfield reshuffle

Although United have recruited Matheus Cunha from Wolves with a value of £ 62.5 million, they are still looking for additions in midfield following the departure of Christian Eriksen and the uncertain future for Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo.

The Red Devils talent guide witnessed Boududoui when Algeria lost 4-3 to Sweden in a friendly match. According to The Sun report, Amorim really wants to bring in players with physical profiles like Boudaoui.

The 25 -year -old midfielder recorded an impressive season in Ligue 1 and was called one of the best defensive midfielders this season. Based on the Datascut data released last April, Boudoui ranked first of 49 defensive midfielders in sprint speed, ranked fourth in the amount of acceleration, and sixth within high intensity mileage.

Two Nice stars entered radar, but had to be patient because of UEFA rules

Boudaoui is not the only Nice player who is in demand. Goalkeeper Marcin Bulka also entered Radar United, with a report from Sports Zone said that the 25 -year -old goalkeeper was open to move this summer. Bulka reportedly priced around £ 12.8 million because his contract will expire at the end of next season.

However, the potential transfer from Nice to Manchester United can only occur on the last day of the transfer window, September 1. UEFA has imposed a ban on transfer between clubs that played in the same European competition, following the fact that United and Nice both appeared in the Europa League last season. Although both are owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, this rule still applies.

Amorim believes fully in Onana in the goalkeeper position

Despite rumors about the new goalkeeper sticking out, the report said that Amorim still trusted Andre Onana as the main goalkeeper. He considered Onana was still in accordance with the style of the game he wanted, especially in terms of ball distribution and the ability to play with feet.

The Portuguese coach believes that Onana can make up for his poor appearance last season with the support of a more solid team structure and a clear game scheme.
