How will Manchester United line-up when the new season rolls around in August? It’s a question that will continue to crop up as they look to improve on a quite frankly disastrous campaign across all competitions.
Amorim will certainly have money to spend this summer, although the previously quoted £200 million war chest looks unlikely following their failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
In fact, the Portuguese manager has been handed a transfer budget of a little less than £100 million, according to The Guardian, who claim the football department want Amorim to have a first pre-season with his team and to strengthen the squad.
So, how will the club’s recruitment look in the coming weeks and months?
Here’s a lowdown of who might walk through the doors at Old Trafford this summer, as well as two potential line-ups for their opening game of the Premier League campaign based on rumours.
Matheus Cunha
Fabrizio Romano delivered one of his first “Here we go!” tweets of the summer late on Sunday night, revealing that a verbal agreement is currently in place for Manchester United to sign the in-form Matheus Cunha.
The Brazilian forward, who scored 15 league goals for Wolves in 2024/25, will sign a five-year deal with an option to extend until 2031, according to Romano, who suggests Vitor Pereira’s side will receive £62.5 million for the player via instalments.
Cunha will likely replace Alejandro Garnacho’s in United’s attack, with the Argentine expected to depart after Ruben Amorim told the winger he will be allowed to join a new club this summer.
That being said, Cunha can play in other positions across the frontline, as we’ve seen for much of the campaign. An exciting signing if he can settle into life at Old Trafford.
