Ruben Amorim has his first Manchester derby victory under his belt, beating Manchester City 2-1 on Sunday afternoon

After a rocky start at Old Trafford, the new Manchester United manager is still getting to know his players. Signings are likely in 2025, and United will look into offensive possibilities, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. Amorim dropped Rashford and Garnacho against City, keeping both players out of the matchday roster.

Rashford and Garnacho may both go in 2025, so United must consider attacking targets to supplement Amorim’s choices.

According to reports, Manchester United are interested in Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, and another Serie A player is also being connected. According to Sky Sports writer Sacha Tavolieri, Manchester United is interested in signing Atalanta star Ademola Lookman.

According to reports, United has contacted Lookman’s representatives in preparation for a prospective move in 2025. The problem is that other clubs are expressing similar interest, with Chelsea and Liverpool making contact. Lookman has been in sensational form this season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in just 18 appearances between Serie A and the Champions League. United fans will also recall Lookman’s spectacular hat-trick in the Europa League final last season, which ended Bayer Leverkusen’s perfect season.

The Nigerian international has elevated his game, and according to reports, he wants to return to the Premier League. Lookman’s ability to play up front or in an advanced midfield role in a 3-4-3 system, which is exactly how Amorim plays, will undoubtedly appeal to United. Atalanta wants at least €50 million (£41.5 million) for Lookman, so United will have to dig deep for him in 2025.
