Rubén Amorim already has a name marked in red to strengthen Manchester United's attack next summer: Alex Baena. The Portuguese coach wants to make the Villarreal player one of the cornerstones of his new project, and for this reason, the English club is considering making an offer of 50 million euros, in a move that aims to outperform the competition from Atlético Madrid and Bayern Munich.

The bet on Baena is not random. Amorim is looking for versatile profiles, footballers capable of adapting to different offensive roles within his system, and the young Spanish international fits perfectly into that idea. His ability to play on the left, in the middle, or even as an attacking link makes him an ideal piece for a structure that promises to be dynamic and aggressive.

Manchester United Wants to Sign Alex Baena

A profound restructuring is being prepared at Old Trafford. Players like Sancho, Antony, or Rashford could leave to generate income and lighten the wage bill. In this context, Baena's arrival would not only bring youth and talent but also concrete statistics: last season, he scored five goals and provided 18 assists, and this season he has already been directly involved in 14 goals across all competitions.

Although Atlético has taken the lead in the initial contacts with the player's environment, Manchester has already outlined its plan. Amorim, recently arrived at the helm of the Red Devils, aims to build a frontline that combines flair, vision, and imbalance, and Baena more than meets those requirements. If Villarreal shows willingness to negotiate, United could make him one of their star signings of the summer.
