Ruben Amorim has firmly dismissed claims that Manchester United was able to secure the signings of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha solely by offering lucrative contracts. In a statement made prior to the friendly match against West Ham, Amorim clarified, “Cunha and Bryan had various options on the table, including Champions League offers. They chose to come here, and anyone who suggests they did it just for the money is mistaken. I can assure you of that, and I’m genuinely pleased with their decision.”
The essence of Amorim’s message is clear: the desire to join the club is paramount. He emphasized the importance of attracting players who have already demonstrated their capabilities. “While potential is crucial, we need to prioritize players who have proven themselves,” he said.
Amorim highlighted the significance of understanding each player’s motivations. “It’s essential that we engage with the player, explain our vision for the club, and ensure they are genuinely enthusiastic about joining us. That’s the key factor.”
As the transfer market progresses, Amorim reiterated his commitment to finding players who not only fit the team’s needs but also embody the spirit of the club. “If we identify someone who can contribute to our goals and aligns with our vision, we will pursue that opportunity. However, if we don’t find the right fit, we will hold off, as this is a critical period for our club.”
This approach showcases Manchester United’s dedication to building a team driven by passion and proven talent, rather than merely financial incentives.
