Mbeumo joins new Man United team-mates, striker search - Ruben Amorim to-do list for pre-season

Manchester United's players have started to return to pre-season this week as preparations begin to step up ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Ruben Amorim will be taking charge of his first pre-season as United boss as he gears up for his first full season in charge.

Matheus Cunha has arrived in a £62.5million transfer from Wolves while teenage defender Diego Leon has joined from Cerro Porteno.

With 37 goals between them last season, once Mbeumo's arrival is confirmed, one of Amorim's key task is to successfully integrate them into United's side.

It has been well documented that the 44 goals United scored in the Premier League last season was the fifth lowest total of any side in the division.

Cunha and Mbeumo should help address that but a new striker, given Rasmus
