Manchester United are keen to have a busy summer transfer window following a dreadful debut campaign for Ruben Amorim, with more forwards targeted after the Matheus Cunha capture
It is a huge summer transfer window for Manchester United. Ruben Amorim’s side finished 15th in the Premier League last season and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, meaning big changes are expected this summer.
Mirror Football understands that United are willing to listen to offers for any of their players this summer, with their transfer budget standing at just £100million without departures. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia, who all spent last season away on loan, are top of the list, while Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are the subject of interest from Italy.
Bruno Fernandes has rejected a mega-money move to Al-Hilal, but Garnacho appears likely to leave after falling out with Amorim at the back end of the season. Garnacho was dropped for the Europa League final and has attracted the attention of Napoli, as well as Saudi side Al-Nassr.
Meanwhile, Hojlund has caught the eye of Inter Milan, who could splash out £40million to sign the misfiring United striker this summer. His future is uncertain with Amorim chasing a number of attackers in the transfer window.

After landing Matheus Cunha in a statement £62.5m signing from Wolves, United are interested in both Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo and Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres. Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season, while Gyokeres plundered over 50 for Sporting and could be reunited with Amorim this summer, although there is a lot of competition for his signature.
“We always prepare two plans,” Amorim said recently. “With and without the Champions League. Without the Champions League, we also don’t need a big squad.
“We can control the squad in a better way. Then we have a plan, that is to bring in some new players, but our big plan is to improve the team we have, to improve the academy.
“It was the past, so it can be the future. It can’t change much because of Financial Fair Play, we are not allowed to do much, even with the Champions League, so we are prepared. It’s important to stick together.
“We are going to struggle, it’s not going to be everything right away, but I can see the team improving and that’s the most important thing.”
Whatever happens, it’s bound to be a busy summer for United, with plenty of incoming and outgoing deals brewing after Sir Jim Ratcliffe oversaw a raft of cost-cutting measures. Here are all the confirmed deals so far.
Ins:
Diego Leon – Cerro Porteno (£3m)
Matheus Cunha – Wolves (£62.5m)
Outs:
Christian Eriksen – Released
Victor Lindelof – Released
Jonny Evans – Retired
