Manchester United Make Shock U-Turn on ‘Versatile’ Star After He Impressed Ruben Amorim! He was almost on his way out of Old Trafford — now he’s being backed to stay! Manchester United are no longer planning to sell one player after he “impressed” new boss Ruben Amorim and showed he has “a lot to offer

In one of the most unexpected twists of the summer transfer window, Manchester United have reportedly reversed their decision on the future of one of their fringe players — and it’s all thanks to new manager Ruben Amorim.

The player, whose identity is yet to be officially confirmed by the club but believed to be Diogo Dalot, was strongly tipped for an Old Trafford exit this summer, with several European clubs circling for his signature. However, after impressing Amorim in early pre-season sessions and behind-closed-doors friendlies, United have now decided to keep him in the squad for the upcoming season.

> “He was almost on his way out of Old Trafford — now he’s being backed to stay!” a club source told reporters. “Amorim has been really impressed with his attitude, versatility, and how quickly he’s adapted to the new tactical ideas. He believes the player still has a lot to offer.”

Dalot, capable of playing both right-back and left-back, had an inconsistent season under the previous regime, and speculation about his future had been mounting. Yet, with Amorim placing high value on adaptable, hard-working players, the Portuguese fullback appears to have earned a second chance.

> “I like what I’ve seen from him. He’s committed, technically sound, and tactically flexible — qualities I need in this team,” Amorim reportedly told club officials during a recent meeting.

Manchester United are now expected to halt all transfer negotiations involving Dalot, and the defender will be integrated into Amorim’s squad plans for the 2024/25 season.

The U-turn signals a shift in United’s squad management under the new manager, prioritizing players who show hunger and alignment with Amorim’s high-press, quick-transition system — and Dalot looks to have made a strong early case for himself.

Fans will now be watching closely to see if he can translate that promise onto the pitch when the season gets underway.
