Manchester United's impending £150 million summer revamp may introduce a revamped squad featuring Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
Manchester United Brace for Pivotal Summer Transfer Window Ahead
Amidst their worst-ever Premier League season, Manchester United head coach, Ruben Amorim, addressed the supporters at Old Trafford, apologizing for the team's dismal performance. Despite the disappointing 15th-place finish, followed by their Europa League final loss to Tottenham, the transfer market is in full swing at Old Trafford.
According to reports from talkSPORT, Matheus Cunha has agreed to a five-year contract with United, who are ready to activate his £62.5 million release clause. The Brazilian attacker is expected to take over the iconic no.10 shirt once he arrives from Wolves.
Additionally, Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford has reportedly held talks with United, and the club is believed to be eager to make a move for the 24-year-old forward, who is valued at approximately £50 million. There are also rumors regarding Liam Delap, who is expected to make a transfer decision soon after interest from four Premier League clubs.
As United prepare for potential departures, there are indications that club captain Bruno Fernandes could be a target for Saudi Arabian clubs. Amidst growing interest, Fernandes may have until this week to decide on a possible move.
With a summer rebuild underway, talkSPORT.com offers an insightful look at how United's starting XI could shape up for the upcoming season. Key issues, such as the goalkeeper position, will likely be addressed as Andre Onana's struggles persist, culminating in his substitution earlier in the season. Options being considered include Aston Villa's Emi Martinez and Mike Maignan of AC Milan.
The defense could remain stable, with Maguire and de Ligt retaining their places at the center, along with fitness-dependent appearances from Leny Yoro.
Meanwhile, the midfield could see some transition, with rumors circulating about Kobbie Mainoo potentially succeeding Fernandes in a more consistent role. Mainoo's deployment would address the attacking void that could arise if Fernandes departs this summer. Casemiro, who has expressed a desire to stay at United till the end of his contract, could also remain for another year.
Amad Diallo, who has showcased his potential despite a season-disrupting ankle injury, is expected to retain his position on the right-wing. Marcus Rashford's potential exit leaves the left-wing spot open, with Patrick Dorgu reportedly being given the nod following his strong debut season since joining from Lecce.
In the attack, two major acquisitions are anticipated to replace two crucial players. The first new signing is expected to be Matheus Cunha, who scored 15 goals and six assists during his tenure with Wolves. The versatile Brazilian can play as an attacking midfielder or a forward.
As for the second signing, Chelsea are believed to be leading the race for Liam Delap, who currently has a £30 million release clause. Ipswich Town striker Delap could provide the much-needed boost in attacking power that United is looking for.
Finally, with Rashford and Antony expected to leave, as well as the possible exit of Jadon Sancho, United could see a significant roster turnover, potentially leading to fresh additions in the upcoming transfer window.
