MU's preparation activities began on Monday after the 15 members attended Carrington. Just over 5 weeks after the trip to Malaysia and Hong Kong ended, MU is currently heating before the new season, with 5 friendly matches.
Of the 15 players who appeared in Carrington, both of the rookies were Matheus Cuha and Diego Leon. Other players will be present at the latest on Thursday. Coach Ruben Amorim will have a lot of work to do, however, 6 names in the first team must do more if they do not want to continue to be “debt”.
The first “hero” was goalkeeper Andrre Onana, the last could not go to Saudi Arabia or As Monaco, so he had to stay to continue to report to MU in the 2025/25 season, as the No. 1 goalkeeper.
In January, it was reported that Amorim wanted to sign a new goalkeeper this summer, but it is likely that Onana will remain the main arrest position because MU cannot sell, so priority is prioritized to buy people in a more urgent position.
If so, onana's performance in front of MU's goal must be improved immediately. He could not report to the home team with silly and instability for another season if he did not want to be expelled in January and became the worst goalkeeper in this club's history.
Next is the Casemiro newspaper. With less than 12 months in the current contract, it is not known whether Casemiro is still a player of MU when this transfer is over. He did not hide his desire to stay because he could not go anywhere to get the high job as here.
But not being kicked in Europe in the season 2025/26 may force MU to act. Although Casemiro's performance in the Europa League is very good in the second half, in the Premier League, it is all disaster. Casemiro still has difficulty with the speed and intensity of the Premier League. So far, no club has sent a suggestion to this player.
The third is Manuel Ugarte, who moved from PSG in the summer of 2024. Ugarte is expected to solve problems in MU midfield but coming to play regularly he could not do it. Despite playing well, his ability to hold the ball is often suspected. The Premier League has a much faster speed than what he has ever experienced in France and Portugal.
At the age of 24, Ugarte still has time to improve and adapt, and this season can help him. But if he wants to occupy one of the two central midfielder positions, he must upgrade himself and show his ability at this stage.
The fourth is Mason Mount, who is very admired by Amorim. That means he can play a very important role in the coach's plan in the season 2025/26. His career at MU has been affected by injury so far and Mount will be determined to compensate for the lost time.
Mount showed its ability at the end of last season and scored two goals in the Europa League semi -final against Athletic Club. The question that people will ask is whether he can keep his style? If Mount can avoid injury, he may become a key role.
Now come to Joshua Zirkzee. After joining MU in the summer of 2024 to play at No. 9, people quickly realized that Zirkzee was never a congenital scoring player. Fortunately for him to be able to show his strength at the No. 10 position in Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system.
That role is suitable for Zirkzee, to the point of being kicked until the injury is held in April. MU has signed a contract with Maheus Cunha and hopes to have more Bryan Mbeumo, meaning that the number 10 options of MU will be more and if Zirkzee does not swim, he will sink. He could hardly have a long -term future here and could still be sold right this summer.
Finally, Rasmus Hojlund. With the addition of a striker is MU's top priority this summer, they really want to sell Hojlund. He has received attention from Inter Milan and Napoli. After the first season with 16 goals, Hojlund decided last season, only scored 10 goals. Patience is exhausted and MU needs a new number.
