After Bryan Mbeumo moved, coach Ruben Amorim and the crew were rushing to complete the “super squad” for MU, when promoting the brought back to three players.
So far, MU has completed two major contracts in the summer transfer window, but Ruben Amorim wants to have at least three more players to create his dream squad in the 2025/26 season. It is necessary to know MU has set out to the US for the trip before the season, with the reform of the squad only partially completed.
Failure in the Europa League final, after finishing at the 15th place in the Premier League last season, raised questions about MU's squad quality. Therefore, Ruben Amorim's idea is supported by MU leadership, with the elimination of players who do not meet the needs and bring quality faces.
Matheus Cunha's movement in early summer, with a transfer price of £ 62.5 million from Wolves, seemed to be a firm affirmation. But it took another six weeks, the second deal was finalized, with Bryan Mbeumo joining the team for £ 71 million from Brentford.
CuHa and Mbeumo are important contracts of MU, but there are still many things to do before the transfer window closed on September 1. First MU needs to liquidate the “set of five”: Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. Rashford will come to Barcelona on loan and Sancho will join Juventus, but the remaining three players still have no new stop.
Meanwhile, the search for other goals is still being conducted.
Facing the mistakes of Andrre Onana and the Altay Bayindir reserve goalkeeper is also not better when he came on the pitch instead of last season, MU is targeting Aston Villa's Emi Martinez. MU is said to have proposed to borrow the 2022 World Cup champion, but was rejected by Aston Villa. Royal Antwerp's Senne Lampens is another name that Man United is considering, Lambens was priced by the 17 million pounds by the Belgian club, making him a more feasible option.
The Athletic newspaper said another position that Amorim wanted to improve was in midfield. MU is interested in Atalanta's Ederson star, and the Brazilian seems to be a perfect choice. Juventus and Inter Milan are also believed to have contacted Ederson, whom Atalanta were valued at £ 52 million, but MU had the potential advantage of having a good relationship with the Italian team, after signing a contract with Rasmus Hojlund and Amad from Atalanta.
The presence of Ederson will allow Amorim to arrange captain Bruno Fernandes into one of the two central midfield positions, along with two rookie MBeumo and CuHa play at the No. 10. Morten Hjulmand of Sporting Lisbon, whom Amorim is very familiar, is another option. In the attack, Man United is looking for a striker. MU has contacted Hugo Ekitike, who is currently joining Liverpool, and Viktor Gyokeres, who is about to move to Arsenal, while Nicolas Jackson and Ollie Watkins are on their long list.
MU may need to sell Hojlund, who only scored 10 goals after 52 matches last season to get more money. Worth mentioning, MU is pushing back to Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. Sesko is said to have a value of 70 million euros and have a comprehensive gameplay in the focused position in Amorim's system.
