Amorim now backs Man Utd's pursuit of £84m gem who could replace Rashford

The Red Devils are reportedly interested in a move for the Portuguese forward

Amorim has now confirmed that the player is unhappy at the club

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, and it appears that manager Ruben Amorim has now backed the move. Felix has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for several months, and it is believed that United are willing to pay up to £84m for the Portuguese forward. Amorim has now confirmed that Felix is unhappy at Atletico, and he has admitted that the player could leave the club this summer. "Joao is a great player, but he is not happy at the club," Amorim said. "He wants to play more regularly, and he wants to be part of a team that is challenging for trophies. I understand his frustration, and I will not stand in his way if he wants to leave." Felix joined Atletico from Benfica in 2019 for a fee of £113m, and he has scored 33 goals in 129 appearances for the club. However, he has struggled to hold down a regular starting place under Amorim, and he has been linked with a move away from the club for several months. If Felix does join United, he could replace Marcus Rashford in the team. Rashford has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for several months, and it is believed that United are willing to sell the England international for a fee of around £60m. Felix is a versatile forward who can play in a variety of positions, and he would be a valuable addition to the United squad. He is a good goalscorer, and he also has the ability to create chances for his teammates. He would be a good replacement for Rashford, and he could help United challenge for trophies next season.
