🔥 The Deal: How United Landed Vitor Roque

 

United’s move for Roque has been in the works for months, with scouts tracking his development since his days in Brazil. But it was his Champions League masterclass against Barcelona—where he scored twice and assisted another in a 3-2 victory for Leipzig—that convinced United to make their move.

 

His agents were seen in London yesterday, finalizing personal terms and reviewing commercial aspects of the transfer. By midnight, all documents were signed, and Roque flew to Manchester on a private jet this morning for his unveiling at Carrington.

 

Transfer fee: £100 million (structured with £75m upfront + £25m in performance add-ons)

 

Contract: 6 years (until 2031)

 

Wages: £180,000 per week

 

Shirt number: 9

 

 

Club CEO Jean-Claude Blanc issued a brief but confident statement:

 

> “Vitor Roque is one of the most exciting young forwards in world football. We’re thrilled to welcome him to Manchester United. This is a long-term investment in world-class talent.”

🇧🇷 Who Is Vitor Roque?

 

At just 19 years old, Roque has already drawn comparisons to Brazilian legends like Ronaldo Nazário and Romário due to his explosive pace, powerful finishing, and ability to create something out of nothing.

 

Position: Striker / Inside forward

 

Preferred foot: Right

 

Style: Direct, aggressive, clinical in front of goal

 

 

In his breakout season with Leipzig (on loan from Barcelona, who were forced to loan him due to FFP), Roque scored 18 goals in 31 appearances, including 5 goals in the Champions League — most notably his dominant display against Barcelona, where he embarrassed the Catalan defense with his speed and composure.

 

That night, United scouts reportedly sent an urgent message to the recruitment team:

 

> “He’s ready. We need him now.”

🧠 Amorim’s Vision: Roque Is the Spark

 

New manager Rúben Amorim has made it clear that his United will be based on youth, pace, intensity, and goals. Vitor Roque fits perfectly into that mold.

 

With Amorim preferring a 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 system, Roque can:

 

Lead the line as a lone striker

 

Drop deeper to link with midfield

 

Drift wide to open space for onrushing midfielders

 

 

In training sessions, Amorim is expected to experiment with Roque and Victor Osimhen as a strike partnership, or use Roque behind the Nigerian in a more fluid front three with Bruno Fernandes and Michael Olise.

 

Speaking to MUTV, Amorim said:

 

> “Roque brings something special. He plays with the heart of a lion and the feet of an artist. He’s brave, ruthless, and fearless. That’s exactly what we need.”

🎙️ Roque: “This is My Dream”

 

In his first interview with club media after putting pen to paper, Roque expressed his joy at joining Manchester United:

 

> “Since I was a child in Brazil, I watched Man United and dreamed of this moment. It’s an honour to wear this badge. I want to give everything, score goals, and make history.”

 

 

 

He also thanked his family and former clubs for guiding him to this point, specifically praising Barcelona for helping him grow and RB Leipzig for giving him the European platform.

 

Now, it’s all about Manchester United.

📊 What Roque Adds to United’s Attack

 

Manchester United’s attack has often lacked unpredictability, pace, and clinical edge in recent seasons. Roque provides all of that—and more.

 

Here’s what the stats say:

 

Dribbles completed per 90: 4.2 (Top 5 in Europe)

 

Shot conversion rate: 21.8% (Elite level)

 

Progressive carries: 6.8 per match

 

Duels won: 54% (Shows physical maturity)

 

 

He’s not just a poacher—he’s a one-man wrecking crew.

 

Roque also contributes defensively. He averaged 1.8 tackles per 90 in the Bundesliga and pressed more than any other forward in Leipzig’s squad, making him ideal for Amorim’s high-press system.
