Manchester United are struggling for results under Ruben Amorim, which is not surprising.
The Portuguese manager has introduced a specific style of play, but many players in the current squad are not suited to his system.
To implement his 3-4-3 formation effectively, Amorim requires significant reinforcements, especially in key positions.
This system demands two highly capable wing-backs, but the left side remains a challenge.
Neither Luke Shaw nor Tyrell Malacia is ideal for the role.
Shaw is dealing with fitness issues and age-related concerns, while Malacia is still recovering from a long-term injury and has yet to make a significant impact.
Recently, it was reported that Manchester United made an offer to sign PSG defender Nuno Mendes, valued at around £58 million.
The 22-year-old Portuguese international would provide the squad with much-needed quality.
Known for his attacking skills as a wing-back, Mendes offers both offensive threat and solid defensive abilities, thanks to his exceptional recovery speed.
According to iNews, Mendes could be the first major signing under Ruben Amorim. Strengthening the left wing-back position is a priority for the club.
However, it remains unclear whether Mendes would be willing to join a team currently struggling in mid-table.
If he does, it would be a strategic and long-term addition to the squad. Only time will tell how this transfer develops.
