Real Sociedad midfielder Luka Sucic has reacted positively to speculation linking him with a move to Man Utd ahead of the January transfer window.
The Red Devils are being linked to numerous players with the winter market set to open in the new year and Ruben Amorim’s side in desperate need of an overhaul.
Amorim has come across similar problems to his predecessors at Old Trafford with the new Man Utd boss also struggled for consistency in performances and results.
One player who has been linked to the improvement of Amorim’s team is the Real Sociedad midfielder, who signed from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer transfer window.
Having made 18 appearances since joining La Liga, reports claim Man Utd are interested in the winter transfer window, with Sucic unaware of their interest.
Sucic told Sportske Novosti: “I spoke about this option that gave the impression in public. I read it myself later.
“No one called me from England. I’m contracted to Real Sociedad, where I feel good, nice, where I fit in perfectly. Did the clubs talk? I don’t know, and I’m not bothered by this topic. There have been stories like this before, and there will be again.”
When asked specifically about links to Man Utd, Sucic added: “United are a global giant, a respected giant in the world of football. Of course, I like my name associated with the Red Devils, but I’m keeping my feet on the ground.”
Man Utd director Christopher Vivell knows Sucic from their time at Red Bull Salzburg and reportedly recommended the midfielder to the Red Devils’ recruitment team.
When asked about this, Sucic continued: “Mr. Vivell knows me well from my years at Red Bull, I can only say that, and unfortunately I cannot know what other people do and do in the football business. It is said that The Lord’s tactics are strange, just like professional footballers. . . »
Man Utd boss Amorim insists he knew what he was signing up for when he took over the task at Old Trafford after a rocky start to his tenure.
Speaking in today’s matchday programme ahead of their match against Newcastle, Amorim said: “When I took this job, I knew that I was signing up for a lot of work.
“If we need to make the long-term adjustments we need for Manchester United, then we will have to continue step by step. We seek to implement a new way of playing, the busiest time of the year, so that there are short-term prices for our long-term goals.
“I will even say that players are working hard to accept and use all the new data and commands they receive. The longer they do this, the less difficult it will be for them, and then comfort and confidence in our game will increase.
