Coach of £80M superstar have confirmed His player in interest to join Man United after begging Him to snub Liverpool move
A shocking revelation has emerged in the ongoing transfer saga involving Manchester United and Crystal Palace’s midfield star Eberechi Eze. The coach of a top player reportedly valued at £80 million has confirmed that his player is leaning towards a move to Old Trafford, snubbing interest from Liverpool, largely due to a close relationship with United’s managerial target, Ruben Amorim. According to the coach, Liverpool initially made a strong push, but he personally intervened, urging the player to choose Manchester United out of respect for his friendship with Amorim.
Manchester United are currently in dire need of fresh options in attacking midfield, especially as Mason Mount continues to struggle with injuries and with questions surrounding the futures of academy products Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. There is even talk that the two youngsters might be sold to raise funds. Meanwhile, veteran Christian Eriksen no longer has the physical ability to operate effectively in that role, which is why he hasn’t been offered a contract renewal.
Bruno Fernandes has impressed in a deeper midfield role, meaning a new creative presence is needed further up the pitch. While Amad Diallo is nearing a return from injury, there are growing concerns that he might be deployed out of position as a wingback. This is where Eze enters the picture.
Reports suggest Amorim, a big admirer of Eze, sees the Crystal Palace man as a perfect fit for his tactical system. Eze has enjoyed a strong season with six goals and nine assists from 29 starts, following up on last season’s tally of 11 goals and six assists. Palace have slapped a £60 million valuation on their star midfielder to ward off interest, but Manchester United remain seriously interested despite facing competition from Tottenham Hotspur, who have long tracked the England international.
Sources close to the situation claim that Amorim considers Eze a natural option to slot into the number 10 role, though United’s ability to move forward with a bid will hinge on their transfer budget. Amorim reportedly sees a new striker as the top priority, but if funds remain, a move for Eze could still happen. The Palace playmaker is seen as an ideal candidate to bring more creativity and goal-scoring threat to United’s attacking setup.
However, it’s important to clarify that many elements of this story remain speculative. Erik ten Hag is still Manchester United’s manager, and there’s been no official word on his replacement. Additionally, Mainoo and Garnacho are widely considered key to the club’s future and are not believed to be up for sale. While Manchester United’s interest in Eze has been widely reported, there has yet to be a formal bid submitted.
