Man United's six-point to-do list before the end of the summer transfer window
Manchester United have got out of the traps quickly this summer as they look to thoroughly change their squad after a disastrous 2024/25 season.
Matheus Cunha has already been secured for the new campaign and arrives on a hefty £62.5m deal from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo is the next target for the Reds and while their first bid is likely to be rejected, talks remain ongoing.
United have also managed to confirm the future of their captain Bruno Fernandes after he rejected the chance to move to Al Hilal. But while this is a solid start, that is all it is.
MEN Sport has put together a six-point to-do list that United must complete before this window shuts altogether on September 1.
While bringing in players is important, selling assets is even more vital for United this summer. Currently, United have a quartet of wingers who need to go before the deadline shuts - preferably even sooner than that.
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford are all surplus to requirements at Old Trafford and all must be sold to raise funds for Ruben Amorim. Simply put, United cannot afford to do the remainder of this list without recouping some of their money.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but there is definitely still time for Rasmus Hojlund to come good at United. However, that will not come while he remains the lead striker at this football club.
United must add at least one centre-forward to their squad this summer. Viktor Gyokeres or Victor Osimhen could prove to be astute acquisitions but whoever signs needs to be ready to be the main man for Amorim next season.
Christian Eriksen's exit, while he was not one of the most important players, has left a gap in the midfield. Casemiro is not the future
