Amorim's Need for a New Left Back; Theo Hernandez as Top Target

Manchester United is preparing to make a move for Theo Hernandez, the French international left-back from AC Milan, following a series of disappointing performances from their current left-back, Tyrell Malacia. After a tough loss to Bournemouth, the Red Devils, currently in 17th place in the Premier League, are looking to bolster their squad, particularly the left-back position. Hernandez, who has struggled for game time under Paulo Fonseca at Milan, has emerged as a key target for the club.

While Milan's manager Paulo Fonseca recently praised Alex Jimenez as his first-choice left-back, it seems Hernandez's future at Milan is uncertain. With his contract renewal stalling, Milan may be forced to sell Hernandez in the upcoming transfer window. Manchester United is expected to present a bid soon, while fans of AC Milan are concerned about losing one of their key players.

Hernandez's attacking style fits well into Ruben Amorim's tactical system, particularly in a 3-4-3 formation, where wing-backs play a vital role in offensive play. His speed and contribution in attack make him a valuable asset for United's needs. However, Hernandez’s reported desire to return to Real Madrid could complicate the transfer, with Los Blancos considering him as a potential option for their left-back position.
