Man Utd transfers: Amorim ready to fix massive transfer mistake by bringing star back

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United are considering implementing the buyback clause of former player Alvaro Carreras, but they will not be able to implement it for a while.

Although Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, the first choice left backs, have long-term injuries, Man Utd It has decided to sell the 21-year-old to Benfica in the summer for a fee of up to €9 million (£7.5 million, $9.7 million).

Although the need for a left-back isn’t huge, given that Diogo Dalot has played in that position this season and summer transfer Noussair Mazraoui has been playing on the opposite wing, it could be argued that they haven’t released the former Real Madrid youth product. Carreras has enough chances at Old Trafford.

Despite the 6ft 1in full-back having a contract until 2029 and making 15 appearances for the Portuguese giants this season. United are considering whether to bring him back to the Premier League.

Indeed, TEAMtalk can confirm that United have a buy-back clause that will cost them around £16 million (€19.2 million, $20.7 million). However, it appears that a move in January is a long way off, and if this clause comes into effect, it could come into effect in the summer of 2025 or later.

However, our sources have confirmed that his performances at the Portuguese giants are being monitored by United and there could be discussions about a recall if he continues to perform well there.

But Carreras is happy at Benfica, the fans have become attached to him and he is playing regularly. Meanwhile, new Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim will hold talks with sporting director Dan Ashworth about possible transfers later this month.

Carreras does not plan to leave on transfer

Following his encouraging start to the season, Carreras addressed speculation surrounding his future.

He said in late October: “I’m just thinking about Benfica. I just focused here. I will try to maintain the same level, try to help the team as much as possible. “I’m just another player on the team.”

United may want to re-sign the young defender but there could be huge competition for his services. Premier League rivals Liverpool are thought to have made a move for Carreras, as concerns about left-back Andrew Robertson’s long-term future at the club are reportedly increasing.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are also mentioned with interest in the Spain Under-21 national team, who has never been able to produce a first team performance for the Red Devils.

Meanwhile, recently sacked United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed the club is interested in bringing Carreras back to the Manchester squad.

He said in October: “We have buybacks, so we have the situation under control. I think that’s what he needed.”

Amorim has money to spend at Man Utd

TEAMtalk announced earlier Thursday: Amorim will be supported in the transfer market but depending on the situation.

The 39-year-old player will start his new role at United on November 11 and will play his first match in charge away to Ipswich Town 13 days later.

Ahead of the January transfer window, INEOS will fund the Portuguese coach but they will need to pick and choose their targets carefully.

More specifically, United have been linked with a move that is not in their favour. Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka.

The 29-year-old player is playing for minutes in the Bundesliga team under the management of new coach Vincent Kompany, but although he is undecided there, it seems unlikely that he will leave the team in January.

Finally, United are said to be in the race for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres. pay well below the reported release clause.
