Ruben Amorim knows that he needs a large summer transfer window if he turns the fortunes of Manchester United with Matheus Cunha his only large signature in the midst of interest in Bryan Mbeumo
Manchester United underwent a terrible season, but the reservation during the season was that Ruben Amorim did not yet have his own players. He had also not had the advantage of a preseason, but none of those apologies can be used in August.
The Red Devils, who finished the 15th last term, their worst show since the early 1970s, did not waste time pursuing their goals this summer. Not all have come across the line, but their ambition show underlines that they are completely behind Amorim.
Matheus Cunha is signed of wolves for £ 62.5 million, but he is the only new face that is officially arriving in Old Trafford. Liam Delap was on the radar of the club, but in the end he decided that Chelsea suited him better.
The lack of European football from United does not seem like it will stop their recruitment. The willingness to sell almost every player in their team is also set to help their transfer budget.
Amorim's 3-4-3 system did not lend itself to the players who inherited the Portuguese boss in Manchester and various key positions must be tackled. That is before the man in the Dugout decides whether they have in his books what is needed to make the club a winning outfit again.
Cunha will play in one of the two roles behind the frontman. Who will still be determined. Viktor Gyokees has flirted, but does not seem to be enthusiastic at the moment. It is clear that Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are not what the team currently needs.
The pursuit of United of Bryan Mbeumo is well documented. Brentford has rejected their opening offers with Tottenham, who now have Thomas Frank at the helm, hoping that they can penetrate and seal a movement for the Cameroonian. He has just enjoyed the best year of his career and is tipped to continue, but is still in favor of a switch to Manchester.
Like Cunha, he would probably thrive in one of the positions behind the frontman. Similarly, although Bruno Fernandes, the Talisman of the club, has filled one of those roles, but can fall deeper to absorb all the attacking talent that could arrive in Manchester.
With Gyokeres who prefer other destinations, Amorim's search goes for and out and off. The scoring of goals was a well -documented problem for the Red Devils and, after also missing Delap, Victor Osimhen was now able to get into play. The time of the Nigerian in Napoli is finished.
He was pushed out of the loan in the past term and scored regularly in Galatasaray, and he has rejected a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia who underlines his desire to stay in Europe. Osimhen has only had 12 months over his deal, which means that he could be available for less than his market value.
On the other side of the field, Andre Onana still has to convince despite having two years between the sticks. He continued to think of mistakes and was even fallen by Amorim in the previous term. Emi Martinez from Aston Villa is a man who is associated with new news.
He seemed to say goodbye and cut an emotional figure at his last outing in Villa Park. Rumors are mounted that United is enthusiastic and their interest is answered by the Argentina Nr.
For the keeper, even though he may want to strengthen his line of defense, Amorim may have to stick to what he has. United does not ultimately have a bottomless pit of cash and if they landed Cunha, Mbeumo, Osimhen and Martinez, it would take them beyond the £ 200 million.
These signing sessions can still be helped by a number of important deviations, with Alejandro Garnacho being the most important. Previously cited as a long -term player, he has since fallen into the pecking order and his attitude was questioned after his snub in the Europa League final.
Man Utd's possible XI: Martinez; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Amad, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dalot; Cunha, Mbeumo, Osimhen.
