When Ruben Amorim sought the perfect duo to join his two 10th-place roles, Manchester United reportedly had set their sights on signing players compared to former Arsenal man Santi Cazorla.
Man Utd follows “Next Cazorla”
Now, in April, Manchester United’s Premier League campaign can be summed up for their unwinning back-to-back games. Given the lasting match season between both, a defeat against Nottingham Forest will be expected, but Anthony Elanga’s winning goal undoubtedly added a wound on the unification side, they will be eager to compete in Game 38.
As Amorim’s rule progressed, it became clearer and clearer if he was to turn things around at Old Trafford, and Ineos seemed to be clearer.
Even though cost-cutting measures continue, the Red Devils are associated with moves like Rayan Cherki, and now there is an offensive midfielder who is well suited for Amorim’s system.

According to Spain, Manchester United is now focusing on the moves if they lose Bruno Fernandez this summer, they sign Oscar Glock from Red Bull Salzburg. Their star man was recently associated with the move to Real Madrid, which was a deserved upgrade, just to have Amorim slam the exit door in front of the transfer window.
The former sports club owner told reporters: “Bruno Fernandes to Real Madrid? That won’t happen. He has nowhere to go. One day, we want to win the Premier League again. So we want the best players to continue with us… and Bruno isn’t leaving, I’ve told him.”
“Special” Gloukh is perfect for Amorim
Compared to former Arsenal midfielder Cazorla, analyst Ben Mattinson, Gloukh is ideal for Manchester United even if Fernandes stays. The Cazorla type is exactly what Amorim needs in his 3-4-2-1 system. By keeping the captain and then joining Gloukh, Amorim can be the final duo in his two senior midfield roles.

Gloukh scored two fewer goals this season in Red Bull Salzburg, in less than half of the game that started in the entire 2012/13 match by Cazorla at Arsenal. And if he wants to reach the Espanyol title in assists, he has a job to do, but the blueprint is surely there and Manchester United can still benefit from it.
Gloukh’s previous campaign is still only 21 years old, described as “wonderful” by football genius scout Jacek Kulig, who has only more progress after a season, with 10 goals in all games.
United have seen rival Manchester City benefit from a player who has been promoted in Erling Haaland Salzburg. Now they can enjoy a player of similar abilities and they may become the next Cazorla.
