The January transfer window offers Ruben Amorim his first opportunity to shape Manchester United into a team aligned with his vision. However, the significant changes are likely to come next summer, with reports suggesting Amorim has his eye on a key Paris Saint-Germain player.

One of PSG’s summer signings, Manuel Ugarte, has already thrived under Amorim’s guidance, highlighting their strong connection. Now, rumors suggest Amorim is interested in reuniting with Nuno Mendes, a player he previously coached at Sporting Lisbon.

According to a recent report fromCaughtOffside, United are closely monitoring the 22-year-old left-back, who is reportedly open to a move after discussions with his representatives. If Mendes decides against renewing his PSG contract, the French club could consider offers in the region of €70 million next summer.

Despite this news, the latest information will be a setback to clubs keen on Mendes.

Is the Nuno Mendes transfer saga over?

L’Équipe reports that Mendes has reconsidered his future and now sees himself staying at PSG. His entourage has even hinted at the likelihood of a contract extension. Luis Enrique played a crucial role in this decision, while Manchester United have ended their pursuit of the player.
