MU has officially entered the fiscal year 2025/26, and that opened the opportunity for the club to spend money on the transfer market. According to the British press, coach Ruben Amorim is targeting 4 important contracts, with the budget up to £ 200 million.
After the worst season in more than half a century, the pressure is weighing on the MU leadership. Although only signed for 62.5 million pounds, the Red Devils are still one of the three most active teams in the market, only behind Man City and Liverpool.
They sent two offers twice to Bryan Mbeumo but were rejected by Brentford. However, Mbeumo is still the number one priority, and a third proposal is being prepared, in the context of Brentford demanding up to £ 65 million.
Besides, the center is also the focus in Amorim's plan. Viktor Gyokeres continues to be contacted, but the price of 80 million pounds that Sporting requires makes the deal difficult.
In the case of failure, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins – who scored 87 goals for the Midlands team – is considered an alternative with a cheaper price of about 20 million pounds. Although many fans have shown doubt this choice, Watkins maintains a stable performance with at least 15 goals per season in the last three seasons in the Premier League.
In addition to Watkins, MU also keeps an eye on many names like Jhon Duran, Hugo Ekitike, Moise Kean and Ivan Toney, when they look for a suitable striker for Amorim's 3-4-2-1 diagram. With the new budget, the ability to spend on Gyokeres or an equivalent star is now more feasible.
In the middle line, PSG's Fabian Ruiz suddenly caught the sight of the Red Devils. The 29 -year -old midfielder was the pillar in the PSG Champions League campaign last season and still plays an important role under coach Luis Enrique.
However, this is not the most priority position at this time, although names like Wilfred Ndidi, Felix Nmecha and Warren Zaire-Emery are also mentioned.
Finally, the goalkeeper position is being considered when Andrre Onana can leave on loan. Emiliano Martinez – Aston Villa's World Cup championship – is on the target list. The fee for recruiting Argentine goalkeeper is about 40 million pounds.
If MU successfully recruits all four goals including: a striker, a wing attacker, a central midfielder and a goalkeeper, the total spending can exceed the £ 200 million threshold, thereby helping Amorim to have enough personnel to redo after a disappointing season.
