Ruben Amorim has promised Manchester United supporters they will see an idea when his side takes the field against Ipswich.
The Portuguese tactician has embraced his arrival in the North West and remains keen to build upon a positive start with Dan Ashworth, Omar Berrada and the rest of the best-in-class backroom team.
Ineos has targeted an ambitious rebuild of the football club, with a calculated framework to revolutionise the style of football and the profile of players in the first-team squad.
Significant work has been done on utilising an extensive youth scouting network, acquiring potential stars in Chido Obi-Martin, James Overy, Samuel Lusale and Sekou Kone.
Additionally, Ashworth has accelerated reports on primary South American targets, with highly-rated Lorran joining Franco Mastantuono as a player of considerable interest for the 20-time English champions.
A potential generational talent
Although only 18, the Rio de Janeiro-born attacking midfielder has cultivated a considerable reputation for himself in Brazil, making 31 senior appearances for Flamengo.
His versatility is a notable asset, highlighting a willingness to interchange through midfield and forward roles while contributing five goal contributions for Mengao.
Amorim is a well-known advocate for the progression of youth. He shares his Sporting Director’s desire to recruit starring teenagers from a region that has been criminally underused throughout the Glazer family era.
Like the Argentine sensation Mastantuono, United chiefs have monitored Lorran for some time and view the duo as a potential statement of intent towards future-proofing the squad.
Furthermore, an exclusive report from TBR Football highlights a willingness to offer his troubled compatriot Antony as a potential January incentive to complete a deal.
An uncertain future
Since arriving from Ajax in 2022, Antony has endured the wrath of widespread media following abject performances and questionable decision-making on the field.
The 24-year-old has seen his playing time reduced, earning 155 minutes across the 2024-25 campaign under Erik ten Hag and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Sources close to Old Trafford have confirmed a willingness from the player’s side to fight for his place in Manchester but equal desire to move on to first-team football if he is not in the manager’s plans.
Considering Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s desire to increase cost-cutting measures at the Theatre of Dreams, it is unlikely that January would return any drastic incomings.
However, a deal for the Brazilian is viewed as a realistic possibility if an agreement can not be reached between the former Ajax sensation and officials.
How do you feel about the prospect of an exchange deal with Lorran and Antony for Manchester United?
