Amorim defends Manchester United's player valuation strategy

Ruben Amorim indicates Manchester United will hold firm on player prices despite interest from other clubs.

Ruben Amorim asserts Manchester United players will not be sold cheaply

Ruben Amorim has made it clear that rival clubs may be surprised if they expect to acquire Manchester United's unwanted players at low prices this summer. As the pre-season progresses, players like Marcus Rashford have secured moves—Rashford to Barcelona—while others such as Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Jadon Sancho have been sidelined. Amorim emphasizes that the club will not drop their asking prices and are willing to keep players like Garnacho and Sancho if their valuations are not met. He expressed confidence in the club's position, stating that time is being given for these players to consider their future options, making clear that he is prepared to reintegrate them if necessary.

Amorim's statement may reflect a shifting trend in football's transfer market. In years past, clubs often conceded to pressure from rivals to unload players quickly. However, the current strategy suggests a willingness to stand firm on valuations, potentially reshaping market dynamics. This could deter clubs from waiting until deadlines to negotiate lower prices, reinforcing the importance of strategic timing in player transactions. Ultimately, Amorim hints that patience may lead to unexpected outcomes, which could either benefit Manchester United or complicate their roster decisions if players return.
