Man Utd urged to sign USMNT star capable of 'transforming' the team & solving major 'problem' for Ruben Amorim

Europa League

Viktoria Plzen

Manchester United

<p>Amorim has taken over at Manchester United and overseen two wins, two defeats and a draw since replacing Erik ten Hag as manager. The Red Devils have managed just one clean sheet in those games, with the left-back position being a particular issue due to injury problems for Luke Shaw and back-up Tyrell Malacia. Both players have returned from lengthy lay-offs recently, although <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/devastated-heartbroken-luke-shaw-statement-new-muscle-injury-rule-man-utd-defender-out/blt36000955aeea2070" target="_blank">Shaw has been sidelined once more and is not expected back for several weeks</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Shaw's ongoing fitness issues have led to speculation that United could look for a long-term replacement. The club are said to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-in-advanced-negotiations-first-signing-ruben-amorim-reign-after-agreeing-transfer-fee/blt5c0abe8122e605c8#csa91cfa632e574c9a" target="_blank">be in "advanced negotiations" for 17-year-old wonderkid Diego Leon</a>, while the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luke-shaw-man-utd-gbp30m-fulham-usmnt-antonee-robinson/blt63365d2fc64cfad1" target="_blank">Red Devils have also been linked with a move for USMNT and Fulham defender Robinson</a>. Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes the 27-year-old would be a great addition to the team and has explained why he could help transform Amorim's Red Devils.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saha told <a href=" https://www.completesports.com/exclusive-saha-on-amorim-needing-fergusons-formula-palmer-cunha-robinson-signing-tips-ronaldos-mls-goal-edge-over-messi" target="_blank">Complete Sports</a>: "Antonee Robinson could help transform Manchester United’s team because he is not just great at creating chances and getting forward but he is also a leader. Usually captains are in the middle of the pitch but he has captained Fulham from left-back this season and he brings so much enthusiasm. At United, Diogo Dalot likes to get forward but it’s not as balanced on the other side, Robinson could bring that consistency and potentially solve a problem that Amorim has. I left United because I was always injured so I do feel for Luke Shaw, he is a top player who wants to help his team-mates on the pitch, he has love for the club. But Robinson is the type of player that can bring balance to a team and be such a threat, it would be interesting to see him in the wing-back position."</p><p>The former striker also thinks Matheus Cunha of Wolves would be a good signing for United. He added: "Matheus Cunha could help take Manchester United to the next level, he is a great player and is so powerful for his size. There are not many players like him in the league. I think he’d be very complementarity alongside Bruno Fernandes in front of United’s midfield, the club already has stamina with Manuel Ugarte but Cunha has the legs and the power that might not be there already. Cunha can dribble the ball through midfield and press the opposition, he is an unpredictable player and that’s what Ruben Amorim needs in his system, someone who can exploit the weaknesses of the opposition. United have too many predictable players at the moment, which is why they should look at bringing in a player who has qualities like Cunha."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>Robinson has made more tackles and interceptions combined (73) than any other player in the Premier League this season.</p>

The Red Devils are back in action on Thursday in the Europa League against Viktoria Plzen before a trip to neighbours Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.</p>
