€60m star identified as key first signing for Ruben Amorim, but Man United need to do this first…

Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes is reportedly a key transfer target for Manchester United, but he’ll cost €60million and sales would be needed first.

It’s been a hugely challenging first half of the season for Man Utd, with results on the pitch really poor under Erik ten Hag, as well as under new manager Ruben Amorim since he came in to replace the Dutch tactician.

As well as that, the Red Devils have concerns off the pitch, with Mendes being linked by the Independent, who add that a number of players could be up for sale if the money is right, even some key names like Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.

Mendes has shown himself to be one of the finest young full-backs in the game, and he looks like he has the attributes to perform well as a wing-back in Amorim’s tactical set-up.

Still, the Portugal international clearly won’t come cheap and it seems someone else will have to be sacrificed if Amorim can land this top target, according to the Independent.

Nuno Mendes signing would require player sale, so who could leave Manchester United?

United perhaps don’t look like they have that many players who could raise vast sums of money, but it may be that a surprise name like Garnacho could end up being one to watch.

TBR Football are another outlet to report on Garnacho’s future being in doubt, with the 20-year-old Argentine said to be unsettled and open to a return to his former club Atletico Madrid.

Still, there’ll be many United fans who’d surely question the decision to sell a talent like Garnacho, even if it would undoubtedly be helpful to land Mendes.

Amorim looks in need of an upgrade on someone like Luke Shaw on the left-hand side, but at the same time he’s also short of quality in attack.

Selling Garnacho would mean a replacement would also be needed in that area of the pitch as the club surely cannot rely on the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antony.
