Manchester United they have now made contact over a potential new striker for Ruben Amorim’s side as they look to rebuild their attack amid considerable speculation over potential departures in the coming months.
Manchester United lose again as INEOS chase Dorga
Another defeat for Manchester United Reuben Amorim he left them languishing in 13th place in the Premier Leaguelosing three of their last five appearances.
Rescued by a late Amad Diallo hat-trick at home to last-place Southampton in the league in midweek, there was no such luck against Brighton at Old Trafford three days later, with Amorim’s side sinking to a 3-1 defeat in which they managed just one shot into the frame of the goal, from the penalty spot in the middle of the first half.
It means Amorim has now seen his side lose six of their 11 games at the top of the Premier League, with just three wins since arriving after the international break in November, and after the game he said this side could be the worst in the club’s history.
“We might be the worst team in the history of Manchester United. I know you [media] I want the headlines, but I’m saying that because we have to admit it and change it.”

Man Utd make the right approach for exciting English talent
This comes after Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg revealed it Manchester United have “expressed a concrete interest” in Borussia Dortmund forward Jamie Bynoe-Gittenswho has regularly been on the Bundesliga headlines this campaign.
Still only 20, the forward was once on the books of Manchester City’s academy before deciding to follow the path blazed by Jadon Sancho and swap the Etihad for Signal Iduna Park, where he thrived.
Mainly playing on the left, Gittens has scored four goals in six Champions League appearances, while also managing seven goals and four assists in the Bundesliga so far this season, joint-highest effort with Serhou Guirassy for the Black and Yellows.
He was the subject of significant praise from Football analyst Ben Mattinsonwho called him a star with “electric pace” who has a “wonderful ability to use both feet to cross or shoot”.
That form has caught the eye, with the report claiming that Bayern, Manchester United and Chelsea are “considering a move”, although it is likely to be one that happens in the summer rather than the final two weeks of the winter window.
Although he still has three and a half years to work on his £48,000-a-week contract with Dortmunda move could happen and is even said to be “highly likely” if Dortmund fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, although it remains unclear whether he would be willing to move to another unlikely Champions League club.
With current left options futures Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho far from the safety of Old Trafford, would Bynoe-Gittens be a smart move for the Red Devils?
