Man Utd “considering” signing Dalot replacement comparable to Alphonso Davies
Manchester United’s scouts have been observed closely monitoring a wing-back prospect that Ruben Amorim is already familiar with, as per reports.
Amorim “very disappointed” by Bournemouth stalemate
In the final Premier League match of the weekend, Manchester United and Bournemouth played to a thrilling 4-4 draw on Monday night. The match showcased the Red Devils’ progress in attack, while also highlighting the familiar issues plaguing those observing at Old Trafford.

The player is receptive to the transition…
After striving to take the lead before halftime, United found themselves trailing just seven minutes into the second half as the Cherries struck swiftly. However, it was the visitors who faltered, conceding rapid goals as Bruno Fernandes scored brilliantly and Matheus Cunha finally found the net at the right moment. Even at 4-3, the hosts hadn’t learned from their mistakes, allowing Eli Junior Kroupi to come off the bench and equalize at 4-4, leaving Amorim with only disappointment at full-time.
“It’s extremely disappointing; we are indeed very disheartened. It was a crazy match. Ultimately, we deserved more from it. It was entertaining for everyone watching at home. The fans, particularly at Old Trafford, want to win, but they also hope to see a team play attractive football.
“We executed that well at certain times. It was a solid performance, but we have to be sharper since we created numerous opportunities. (Senne) Lammens performed admirably; both teams had their chances.
“We generated more chances, but we must identify ways to secure our leads, as we’ve encountered this issue repeatedly. That’s part of our development. We strive to do our best, but occasionally it falls short.”
Given their revealed defensive frailties, it comes as no surprise that United are seeking essential improvements within Amorim’s defensive setup, reportedly guiding them back to Portugal towards Maxi Araujo.
Man Utd now strategizing Maxi Araujo acquisition
According to TeamTalk, Manchester United is strategizing to acquire Araujo after having their scouts observe the Sporting CP wing-back perform in a 6-0 victory over AVS last weekend.
Scouts certainly timed their visit well, considering that Araujo scored twice during that 6-0 victory, again demonstrating why he is on the radar of the Red Devils. Over the years, he has impressed, particularly in the 2024/25 season when his performances in the Champions League drew comparisons to Bayern Munich’s star Alphonso Davies as noted by FBRef.
The fact that Amorim already has a good understanding of the 25-year-old, having collaborated with him during his tenure at Sporting, adds to the allure of a reunion to potentially secure a notable upgrade over Diogo Dalot.

While Dalot has shown some encouraging signs of development, Amorim is likely to embrace Araujo and the opportunity to either replace his current player or elevate his performance. Healthy competition, as evidenced by United’s enhanced attack, might be crucial for finally revitalizing Manchester United.
