Manchester United are internally discussing the prospect of signing Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United in the summer window. Amorim’s admiration for Newcastle star Guimaraes has become apparent, but it would require a significantly large investment and quite likely one beyond what they can afford. Competition for Guimaraes is fierce, with Barcelona also interested. Newcastle do not want to sell Guimaraes and are planning a contract renewal with a salary increase.

Bruno Guimãraes's name has been regularly associated with Manchester United. However, Guimãraes is still a player of Newcastle and is not expected to leave the English club this summer despite the courtships. The Brazilian's agent has stated that he is 'very happy' in the North of England, and the former Lyonnais player has even made an offer for a house to settle permanently with his family. This indicates that the player, who signed a contract extension in October last year until 2028, is not in a hurry to leave, despite the rumours linking him to Manchester United recently.
