Manchester United Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Borussia Dortmund Winger: Should Amorim Go For Him?

In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Manchester United are keeping a keen eye on Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi. It has been claimed that the Red Devils have identified the German talent as a target for next year.

Adeyemi’s Impressive Form In The Bundesliga

The 23-year-old has caught the eye at times with his performances on the right side of Dortmund’s attack this season. Adeyemi has netted three goals and grabbed five assists in 19 matches for the German club in this campaign so far across all competitions.

The German wide player has proven his worth on the offensive end of the field by averaging 2.86 shots per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. He has kept 31.3% of his attempts on target. However, Adeyemi has to find a way to improve his link-up play up top, based on his pass completion rate of 71.4% in the German top flight (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the German club will expire in the summer of 2027. Hence, Man United could potentially sign him on the cheap at the end of this campaign.

Should Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim Go For Adeyemi?

Adeyemi is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with it out on the flanks. He can shoot the ball well from long range and has got the vision to create some inviting chances in the final third.

The German sensation is primarily a right-winger but can also operate as a left-sided wide player or as a striker up top if asked to do so. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to secure his services next year.

Adeyemi would bring more goals and creativity to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim’s frontline. He is good enough to compete for regular first-team football at Old Trafford in the coming years.

At 23, the best is yet to come from Adeyemi. Therefore, Amorim would be wise to go for a player of his quality and skill set this January or at the end of this campaign.
