Manchester United are in the hunt for new arrivals this window and could be set to make a statement on the market under Ruben Amorim with the competitive kick-off approaching, according to a report.
Fernandes demands Manchester United signings after Everton draw
Manchester United won the Premier League Summer Series after a 2-2 draw with Everton, but that didn’t stop Bruno Fernandes demanding that his side make new signings in a passionate post-match interview.
He stated: “It’s improving, but it’s not where we want it to be. It’s a game of football, there’s always passion there. Whatever happens, happens.”
Later, he added: “I don’t want to have a dig at anyone, but I think the club is doing the best they can in terms of all the financial situations they talk about. I don’t know about it, I’m not involved in that. But obviously, it was crystal clear we needed more competition for the players that were here.”
In light of some strong words from the Portuguese international, Manchester United intend to bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who has shot onto their radar as a key target following his exploits in Germany.
Raising funds will be important to ensuring there is an adequate budget available for Amorim to spend, and Alejandro Garnacho’s potential departure to Chelsea could place some vital financial capital into the coffers at Old Trafford.
With the new league season now less than two weeks away, there is still plenty of work for Manchester United to carry out as a new dawn comes into play, and they could now be set to up the ante on that front amid recent developments.
Man Utd look to assemble explosive front three with Vinicius Junior
After the arrivals of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, Manchester United are ‘preparing’ a bid for Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior as Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to make a ‘flagship’ signing during the early part of INEOS’s reign.
The Brazil international is out of contract in 2027 and is yet to pen an extension in the Spanish capital due demands to be placed alongside Kylian Mbappe in their wage structure. Now, reports in Spain reveal the Red Devils are ‘willing’ to make a ‘monumental proposal’ worth around £174m, which would eclipse the British transfer record by a wide margin.
INEOS want to ‘assemble an explosive offensive trio with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha’, and Vinicius’ future has taken an ‘unexpected turn’.
Last season, the Brazilian superstar registered 22 goals and 19 assists in 58 appearances across all competitions. Still, he could now be set for a surprise new challenge with Florentino Pérez not willing to bring him to parity with Mbappe’s pay packet.
Financially, Manchester United would be stretched to put together a package worthy of tempting the world-renowned star to England, though Ratcliffe and company do seem like they are willing to put their best foot forward.
