Breaking News: Benfica Star Orkun Kokcu Eager to Reunite with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United
Live from Old Trafford – Excitement is building among Manchester United fans as Benfica star Orkun Kokcu has publicly expressed his desire to join Ruben Amorim’s side. The £67 million-rated midfielder recently spoke about his admiration for the new Manchester United manager, describing him as a father figure and stating his readiness to make the move to Old Trafford.
In a heartfelt statement, Kokcu revealed his deep respect for Amorim, who played a pivotal role in shaping his career.
“Ruben Amorim is like a father to me,” Kokcu said.
“The footballer I am today is all because of him. We have a very good relationship. For me, he’s one of the best managers in the world, and I would love to work with him again.
“That’s why joining Manchester United is a dream I’m ready to pursue. But it’s up to him—if he wants me, I’m 100% in. The door is open; now it’s his call.”
Kokcu’s concluding words hinted strongly at his intentions, saying, “Seems like I want to go to Manchester United.”
A Reunion in the Making?
Kokcu, 23, thrived under Ruben Amorim during their time together at Feyenoord, where the Portuguese manager helped unlock the midfielder’s full potential. Since moving to Benfica, Kokcu has continued to impress, cementing his reputation as one of the brightest talents in European football.
His versatility, vision, and work rate have made him a standout performer in the Portuguese league, and his ability to dictate play from midfield would make him an invaluable asset to Manchester United. Fans are already hailing him as a potential replacement for Christian Eriksen, whose role in the team has gradually diminished due to fitness concerns.
Fan Reaction: “A Perfect Fit”
Manchester United supporters have reacted with overwhelming enthusiasm to Kokcu’s comments. Social media is abuzz with fans praising the prospect of adding such a talented and dynamic player to their midfield.
“This is the best news ever. Kokcu will be a wonderful addition to our midfield!” one fan tweeted.
“He’s exactly what we need—a perfect replacement for Eriksen. Make it happen, Amorim!” another wrote.
The prospect of Kokcu reuniting with Amorim has also sparked excitement over the club’s future under the Portuguese manager, who is already being praised for his vision and ability to attract top talent.
A £67 Million Gamble?
While Kokcu’s reported valuation of £67 million may raise eyebrows, many believe the investment would be worth it given his age, potential, and established relationship with Amorim. His arrival could signal a new era for Manchester United’s midfield, providing much-needed creativity and energy alongside Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
Final Decision Lies with Amorim
Ultimately, the ball is now in Ruben Amorim’s court. Kokcu’s public declaration of interest has sent a clear message, but it remains to be seen whether Manchester United will make a formal approach for the Benfica star in the upcoming transfer window.
One thing is certain: the Red Devils’ faithful are firmly behind this potential move. As Kokcu himself said, “The door is open.”
