Manchester United’s Summer Signings and Possible Departures
Manchester United is gearing up for a significant summer as they aim to recover from their poorest-ever Premier League season. The team finished 15th last season and did not qualify for the Champions League after losing 1-0 to Tottenham in the Europa League final.
Manager Ruben Amorim has already bolstered the squad with the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and further transfers are anticipated. Despite a disappointing season, United has funds available, as CEO Omar Berrada explained: “We communicate regularly with Ruben. He and Jason Wilcox share a cohesive vision for our playing style.”
Berrada emphasized the importance of strategic planning for the upcoming transfer window, stating, “We are making substantial efforts to improve our financial standing. Even without European competition, we plan to invest in the squad.”
