Manchester United has begun its summer transfer activities, announcing Matheus Cunha as their first signing for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
The club has invested a significant sum of £62.5 million for the Brazilian international, who managed to score 15 goals and provide six assists during this season in the Premier League.
Despite the hefty price tag, this move is viewed as a smart investment, especially after a challenging period where the team only scored 44 league goals throughout the 2024/25 season.
However, manager Ruben Amorim is not stopping with this signing, as he is still prioritizing acquiring a striker, leading to discussions surrounding several potential targets for Old Trafford.
Initially, Liam Delap was the primary target, but his transfer to Chelsea has led the club to explore opportunities with other noteworthy players across Europe.
The latest on United’s hunt for a new striker this summer
In recent weeks, several high-profile forwards have emerged as options for United, as Amorim seeks a key goalscorer to help elevate the team’s position in the league next season. Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, and Hugo Ekitiké have been mentioned as possible signings, although no final agreements have been reached.
Additionally, reports suggest that United is pursuing Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović. According to the latest news from FootballTransfers, the team has initiated talks with the Italian club for the player, who is currently on a salary of £315,000-per-week.
The report further indicates that Vlahović is eager to join United this summer, viewing it as an excellent opportunity to advance his career, with a Premier League move being a dream for the Serbian forward.
