Manchester United is desperate to sign a center-forward in the summer transfer window, but Ruben Amorim also wants to strengthen two other positions before the window closes
Manchester United wants to be packed three deals before the summer transfer window is closed. United has made two important additions this summer, but still follow their Premier League rivals, who have been extremely busy.
The club spent £ 133.5 million to bring in Matheus Cunha van Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, while the young left back Diego Leon also arrived after signing in January. United has found it difficult on the market, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, which so far all complete more deals.
They have missed Liam Delap's signing sessions to Chelsea, Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool and Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal, with the lack of European football in the 2025/26 season with a clear disadvantage. Signing a striker remains the number one priority, in which mirror football reveals that Ollie Watkins is the top goal.
The Aston Villa striker is enthusiastic about moving to Old Trafford, but United does not pay £ 60 million for its services, hoping to shake hands with £ 40-45 million. They also had conversations with the representatives of Benjamin Sesko and he is an alternative.
Although a center-forward is the top priority after a miserable season 2024/25, Ruben still wants to strengthen Amorim elsewhere. The independent reports that they also want a new keeper and an in -depth midfielder.
United is looking for a new keeper after a difficult campaign for Andre Onana, while Altay Bayindir did not convince when he got the chance. Onana was dropped by Amorim during the 2024/25 campaign, only for Bayindir to take his chance if it also came.
They have been associated with ambitious interest in Aston Villas Emi Martinez and Paris Saint-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma, as well as Nick Pope van Newcastle and Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp.
In the meantime, an athletic permanent midfielder is being sought by Amorim after a succession of problems last season in the position. Casemiro does not have the legs to cover the required soil, Kobbie Mainoo is better forward and Manuel Ugarte has to convince after his £ 50 million relocation of PSG last summer.
Did you say! What should be the top priority of Manchester United in the transfer window? Respond below.
Amorim recently explained what he is looking for in new signing sessions. “They have to come here. I think what we can do the fans is that we want players to have proven it [themselves] Already, “he said.
“Sometimes you have a player with a lot of potential, you have to be aware of that, but all players coming, we have to know the player. We have to talk to the player, we have to explain the project.
“And then a very important thing they want to come here is the most important point. If we can find someone who can help the team during the market and everything that can be with them, we will do it. If not, we can't do it because it is an important time in our club.”
