Victor Lindelof's contract expires in 2025, and he continues to sustain injuries. Jonny Evans is not the solution going forward, and Harry Maguire is in a similar situation. Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Lisandro Martinez are the only players anticipated to stay, and it is obvious that the team has to bolster its defensive. Barcelona's Jules Kounde has had an incredible season, and according to F365, the Red Devils are pursuing the Frenchman at Amorim's request.

This season, the 26-year-old has made 17 appearances, scoring one goal and dishing out four assists. The Frenchman has mostly played as a right full-back for Hansi Flick, but he wants to play in the middle of the defence. Amorim would greatly benefit from this adaptability, and the 20-time English league winners are getting ready to make a January bid of €65 million for the former Sevilla player.
