Amorim needs players who can shine in his 3-4-2-1 formation and help to launch United up the Premier League table.<\/p>\n<p>In order to give Amorim the transfer budget he wants, United technical director Jason Wilcox must sell several unwanted players to recoup funds.<\/p>\n<p>As per Italian outlet <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gazzetta.it\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a>, such funds could then be spent on Juve\u2019s mercurial talent Yildiz.<\/p>\n<p>The report states that United are battling rivals Manchester City and Chelsea in the race to bring the hugely exciting forward to the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tag\/kenan-yildiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yildiz<\/a> \u2013 who can play as a left winger or No 10 \u2013 is only 19 years old but is already a key player for Juve, having notched eight goals and five assists in 44 games so far this term.<\/p>\n<p>Yildiz was named as 2024\u2019s Golden Boy Web winner, and his exhilarating performances could see United put a \u2018big investment\u2019 towards capturing him.<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish international has been called \u2018spectacular\u2019 by Juve icon Alessandro Del Piero, while Gianfranco Zola has compared Yildiz to himself.<\/p>\n<p>This update comes after TEAMtalk revealed on March 19 that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/kenan-yildiz-manchester-united-liverpool-arsenal-manchester-city-interest-juventus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United are poised to launch an official move for Yildiz<\/a> after making initial contact for him.<\/p>\n<p>We understand that Liverpool and Arsenal have also been wowed by his displays this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Juve know they have a player with world-class potential on their hands and will only sell if a huge proposal worth\u00a0\u20ac90million (\u00a377m \/ $102m) comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Whether United\u2019s supposed \u2018big investment\u2019 matches that price tag remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Yildiz excels at taking on multiple players before either having a shot at goal or setting up one of his team-mates for a chance. United desperately need this kind of inspiration and attacking intent f they are to get back in the mix for major silverware.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>READ MORE<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/chelsea\/chelsea-battling-man-utd-for-spectacular-striker-signing-as-new-approaches-made\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Chelsea battling Man Utd for spectacular striker signing as \u2018new approaches\u2019 made<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/antony-transfer-approach-fails-man-utd-stand-firm-ratcliffe-takes-almighty-risk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Antony transfer approach FAILS as Man Utd stand firm and Ratcliffe takes almighty risk<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Morgan Rogers another target for Man Utd<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Separate reports in Spain suggest that United are also eyeing Aston Villa playmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/morgan-rogers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morgan Rogers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The attacking midfielder joined Villa from Middlesbrough in February last year and is now one of the most important players in Unai Emery\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<p>Rogers has managed 14 goals and 12 assists in 46 appearances for Villa this season and United are allegedly aiming to strike a dazzling deal for him.<\/p>\n<p>Wilcox and co are \u2018preparing an offer\u2019 worth \u00a369m (\u20ac80m \/ $91m) to see if they can tempt Villa into selling Rogers.<\/p>\n<p>However, it will be tough to convince the 22-year-old on such a move given Villa\u2019s brilliant rise under Emery and United\u2019s recent struggles.<\/p>\n<p>TEAMtalk revealed earlier this month that United\u2019s rivals City are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-city\/citizens-love-morgan-rogers-serious-hopes-aston-villa-raid-emerge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keen on re-signing Rogers<\/a> after previously letting him leave for Boro in July 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Man Utd transfers: Game over for star;
