Ruben Amorim Furious as £60m Target Chooses Arsenal Over Manchester United
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly expressed frustration after Arsenal swooped in to secure the signing of a £60 million-rated player that had long been on United’s radar.
Speaking off the record, Amorim hinted at growing irritation with Arsenal’s transfer dealings this summer. The United boss reportedly said:
“They hijacked our deal to sign Viktor Gyökeres and we didn’t do anything. But if they try that with this particular player, then we’ll be forced to report them to FIFA.”
While Amorim did not name the player publicly, reports strongly suggest it’s the highly sought-after midfielder who was believed to be on the verge of joining Manchester United before changing course in favour of a move to the Emirates.
Arsenal have already beaten several clubs to high-profile signings this window, and this latest development has seemingly pushed United’s patience to the brink. Amorim is said to be particularly angered by the fact that Arsenal were not initially in the race until late in negotiations — a move he interprets as deliberate hijacking.
Despite the tension, the Gunners are believed to be finalizing the transfer, with the player keen on working under Mikel Arteta and drawn to Arsenal’s exciting project and Champions League qualification.
United fans are now demanding action from the club’s hierarchy, with many urging them not to miss out on more targets as they continue their rebuild under Amorim’s leadership.
If Arsenal proceed with the signing, it could spark a rare formal complaint to FIFA — a move seldom made between top Premier League clubs.
