When asked about the inclusion of Zubimendi in Real Sociedad’s XI for the second leg tie, after the player missed the first leg through sickness, Amorim told TNT Sports: “He is a top player that can change a team.
“Especially in that position [defensive midfield] he is one position that can read and block transitions.”
Following Amorim’s comments, Scholes said: “From that interview, the manager quite likes Zubimendi!
“If we sell three or four players we might be able to buy him but tonight’s a big night.”
Zubimendi, who has been linked with the likes of Man United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, is thought to have a €60m release clause in his contract.
