Despite ongoing rumours linking RB Leipzig&#8217;s Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko with a move to United, Amorim remained non-committal, emphasizing his focus on the players presently available.<\/p>\n<p>The uncertainty surrounding Rasmus H\u00f8jlund&#8217;s future adds layers to the club&#8217;s forward line considerations. H\u00f8jlund, who scored four Premier League goals last season, impressed in the friendly victory, prompting Amorim to express confidence in the striker: &#8220;I am really happy with Rasmus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Amorim acknowledged the unpredictability of the transfer window: &#8220;I don\u2019t know what is going to happen until the end of the market. The important thing is that the strikers that are here are working really well, are improving, are helping the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the prospect of acquiring \u0160e\u0161ko, Amorim offered no updates, reiterating his support for H\u00f8jlund&#8217;s integration: &#8220;No. The important thing is that Rasmus is scoring goals, he\u2019s connecting really well with the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest several Serie A clubs are eyeing H\u00f8jlund, while United aim to fund a potential \u0160e\u0161ko transfer, reportedly requiring a minimum \u20ac75 million fee. To balance finances and squad dynamics, players including Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia are available for transfer, though no confirmed buyers have emerged as of yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruben Amorim focuses on current Manchester United strikers amid speculation on \u0160e\u0161ko and H\u00f8jlund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179],"tags":[317,263,277],"class_list":["post-873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-manchester-united","tag-benjamin-sesko","tag-rasmus-hojlund","tag-ruben-amorim"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":882,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873\/revisions\/882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
