Ruben Amorim is keen for Manchester United to try and pursue a Newcastle United star.

Newcastle United and Manchester United have had very contrasting seasons. While the Magpies are chasing Champions League qualification, Ruben Amorim’s side are staring at a 14th-placed finish.

With Eddie Howe preparing for a return to European football, Newcastle are determined to keep their stars despite mass interest from Premier League rivals.

Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes make up a core of Newcastle’s star players and PIF are determined to keep the quartet at St James’ Park.

Manchester City showed interest in Guimaraes last summer, and now it seems their cross-city rivals are also admirers of the Brazilian.

Bruno Guimaraes is a ‘dream’ target for Man United

According to TeamTalk, Manchester United have drawn up a “dream” two-man shortlist of midfield targets, which includes Newcastle captain Guimaraes.

The Red Devils are looking to replace Casemiro and the report claims that Amorim is a huge admirer of Guimaraes.

Amorim would love to bring Guimaraes to Old Trafford but Newcastle are not even remotely considering any offers for the Brazilian star.

Inside sources explain that Guimaraes has grown into a leader in the Newcastle dressing room, and his commitment to the Magpies has never wavered.

Bruno Guimaraes is not leaving Newcastle United

Howe made a bold decision to give Guimaraes captaincy at Newcastle, and it has turned out brilliantly.

Guimaraes has become more vocal at Newcastle and it is clear that he has a deep admiration of the club, the city and its fans.

Guimaraes will forever be remembered as the Newcastle captain who lifted the Carabao Cup to end the club’s wait for silverware. Lifting the trophy seems to have improved the bond in the dressing room and there is no reason for the 27-year-old to be leaving anytime soon.

After beating Amorim’s side 4-1 earlier this month, Guimaraes’ gesture against Manchester United suggests a move to Old Trafford is the last thing on his mind.
