"Manchester United have opened talks to sign a star who flopped at Barcelona. The Red Devils are on arguably their best run of the last year, finding themselves unbeaten in four and Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim appears to have turned a corner. But with many supporters recognising that there is still work to be done with this squad, United could well enter the January market once more."
"Brazilian outlet O Globo reports that United are set to offer around 42 million for Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque after being knocked back following a 29m bid. Roque has bounced back from a torrid spell in Europe to strike 13 in 31 for the Big Green this year and could now be in contention for a recall to the national side under Carlo Ancelotti."
"After his breakout with Athletico Paranaense as a teenager, Roque earned a move to Barcelona, who slapped a 500m release clause on the Brazilian but that's where his struggles began. Roque netted just twice for Barcelona in La Liga before a loan spell to Real Betis, where he performed marginally better but with Palmeiras competing in the Club World Cup over the summer, the Brazilian outfit smashed the South American transfer record to make a statement signing for the tournament."
Manchester United remain unbeaten in four under Ruben Amorim but still seek squad improvements and may enter the January market. The club invested in Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko in summer to strengthen a low-scoring attack. United are preparing an offer of around 42 million for Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque after an earlier 29m bid was rebuffed. Roque has rediscovered form with 13 goals in 31 appearances for Palmeiras and could attract national team consideration. Roque previously moved to Barcelona with a 500m release clause, struggled in Europe, had a loan at Real Betis, and joined Palmeiras for a South American record fee.
