This summer is critical for Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United. He must undertake a substantial squad overhaul to ensure that the team can compete at the highest levels of the Premier League next season.
Currently, his team has struggled in the league during the 2024/25 season, placed at 15th with only three matches left this campaign.
Nevertheless, the Red Devils still have a chance to finish the season on a high note by potentially securing the Europa League by facing fellow Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
Scoring only 42 goals in 35 league matches, the club ranks fifth-lowest in the division, indicating a pressing need for attacking reinforcements during the off-season.
An update on United’s hunt for new attackers this summer
Throughout the current season, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have been the primary attacking options for United. However, discussions are underway to acquire Matheus Cunha, who has scored 15 goals and provided six assists in the league, prompting the Red Devils to consider activating his £62.5m release clause.

Additionally, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly also on United’s radar. Foot Mercato states that the club is in negotiations regarding a summer move, with Napoli expecting €75m (£64m) for his services.
The report claims that Manchester United is the only English club willing to meet his demand of £200k per week, which could facilitate a transfer if discussions continue positively.
Why Osimhen would complement Amad and Cunha
Amad Diallo has shone in an otherwise disappointing season, contributing significantly to the team’s attacking efforts. He has achieved a total of ten goals and assists since Amorim took charge in November, despite missing almost three months due to an ankle injury. He aims to play a pivotal role in the Europa League in the upcoming weeks.
