Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly pushing for a potential move for Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen.

Christensen could be a useful signing to add depth and experience to this United squad, even if he is probably not the player he was at the very peak of his career.

The 28-year-old was a key player for Chelsea when he was younger and made a promising early start when he joined Barcelona, although a combination of fitness and form issues means he has now lost his place.
Andreas Christensen could work for Manchester United
Despite this, one imagines Christensen could be a squad player for United, at the very least, who need more options behind Amorim.
The Red Devils are having a poor season so could make as many changes as possible to give their new manager the cultural reset he needs.
Christensen would certainly be an upgrade over the likes of Victor Lindelof and possibly Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez.
Christensen likely won’t be an automatic starter at Old Trafford, so it remains to be seen whether he will certainly choose that option over others if there are teams willing to eventually give him a bigger role.
Still, with Amorim playing in a back three, it means Christensen gets plenty of game time and can rotate with others in the United squad.
