MU is entering the peak period of the summer transfer period 2025 with drastic moves to rebuild the squad. After completing the Bryan Mbeumo's recruitment deal from Brentford, the Red Devils will welcome 3 more rookies. In the opposite direction, they will break up 9 players next week.
There will be 3 more rookies after the Cuha and Mbeumo
After completing the recruitment of Maheus Cunha from Wolves for £ 62.5 million, MU is moving very close to buying Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford at the same price. The Cameroon player will bring speed, penetration and maneuverability in the corridor – the position that the team has encountered many problems during the last season.
However, Mbeumo is not the last MU contract this summer. According to a source from Manchester Evening News, MU has completed negotiation procedures with three other rookies, expected to be announced within the next few days. Although specific identities have not been revealed, these rookies are “young, potential and suitable for modern football philosophy” that coach Amorim is pursuing.
This addition promises to increase the depth of the squad for MU, especially when they need to refresh the team after a disappointing season. Experts say that the three positions that need to be given priority will be the striker, the full -back and the central midfielder. These are areas that have revealed many weaknesses in the 3-4-3 system that Amorim is expected to apply.
With the presence of these rookies, MU is ready to launch a new appearance in the 2025/26 season. The addition of personnel not only helps to increase competitiveness in the squad but also creates a premise for active and attacking play that Amorim wants to build at Old Trafford.
Farewell to 9 players next week
In parallel with recruiting rookies, Man United is also purifying a strong force when confirming to break up 9 players next week. These are the names beyond the plan of coach Ruben Amorim or have not contributed much to the team recently.
The list includes the first team players like Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof. Eriksen, despite bringing stability in the middle line, no longer fits the intensity and high pressing requirements in Amorim's philosophy. Meanwhile, Lindelof and Evans do not guarantee the style and physical strength to stand up to the pressure of modern football.
In addition, 6 other young players including Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan and Tom Wooster will also leave the club when the contract has a maturity. These are the main names playing in the Academy team and not in the first team development plan.
The breakup at 9 players not only helps to streamline the salary fund but also opens opportunities for young talents or new contracts. In the context of the budget that needs to be controlled according to financial regulations, this move shows the initiative and clear in the reconstruction strategy.
