Manchester United have only secured two major new arrivals this summer in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo with Ruben Amorim insisting they did not sign for financial reasons
Manchester United's summer has seen them land two marquee arrivals, costing them more than £120million, but more was expected of the Red Devils in the transfer market.
Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha will bolster the team's attack with Ruben Amorim claiming either man could play as a central striker if needs must. The United boss has also claimed he's happy to press on with his squad as it looks despite the lack of change.
He said during the club's pre-season tour: "In the moment we need to be careful when we sign a player. If I start the season with this squad I will be happy."
United finished 15th in the Premier League last term, but Amorim has been afforded the chance to work with his team on his philosophy and system throughout pre-season. That wasn't a luxury he had last term with United's recruitment potentially slowing down.
Man Utd not prepared for new goalkeeper
United have been linked with moves for the likes of Emi Martinez, having a loan approach rejected by Aston Villa, and the MEN understands there is not currently a budget set aside to fund a new No.1 for the club.
Despite not having the funds to go after a new goalkeeper Andre Onana has made it clear he wants to stay in Manchester and has received reassurances that he won't be sold or replaced.
The most likely departure there would perhaps be Altar Bayindir with Tom Heaton, the veteran goalkeeper on the club's books, recently extending his deal. Onana was dropped for a match last term by Amorim, but he still remains the first choice going into the new season.
Amorim debunks transfer lies
Amorim has dismissed the notion that Mbeumo and Cunha both choose to move to Manchester to increase their pay cheques given they had offers elsewhere that would've seen them play in the Champions League. The United boss claimed it is "lies" to consider the duo only made the switch because of financial motives.
He told the club's website: “Cunha and Bryan, they had different solutions [offers]. They had Champions League offers. And they wanted to come here. People that say that they come here because of the money… that is a lie. That I know for sure. So, I’m really happy with that.
“That is the key point. They have to want to come here. I think what we can do to the fans is that we want players who have proved [themselves] already. Sometimes you have a player with a lot of potential, you have to be aware of that, but all the players that are coming, we need to know the player. We need to talk to the player, we have to explain the project. And then one really important thing is that they want to come here."
Palmer tipped for Old Trafford switch
Cole Palmer has been tipped to join move to United in the future despite his Chelsea deal tying him down until 2033. Former Red Devils coach Rene Meulensteen told Grosvenor Casino: "It’s almost a public secret that Cole Palmer is a Manchester United fan, what surprised me is how he slipped through the fingers of United with him being at Manchester City and then getting his chance at Chelsea.
“He is a player that can make a difference, could he play for United in the future? Yeah, I can't see why not. Obviously, he's got a long-term contract with Chelsea, but sometimes things don't work out and players and clubs fall out, then United would be interested and it could be a really good destination for him. He is a United fan after all and he is a player that would bring United back to a higher level."

Amorim really said he’s happy with this squad? Liverpool won the league and made a number of signings while United finished 15th and only made 2 signings 🤣
I believe people still under rate United because of what happened last season but they forgot that out of all players that left the team this summer only ganercho has played more so replacing him with big upgrades is a change in the team.... United has less games than others so this time they need less squad... And I hope it can work out... Then next season or mid-season they add

#LFC selling a 28 year old left sided forward who wanted out, had 2 years left on deal & scored 29 goals in 103 PL games for €75m while #MUFC have loaned Rashford (27yo, 3 years left on deal, 87 goals in 287 PL games) to the Spanish league and cup holders with a €30m option We are just so bad at selling.🤔

It’s obvious they came to Man U for money and also no team was ever serious in wanting them so literally Man U didn’t have competition
If they had wanted money Saudi wanted them both, they could've gone there. Mbeumo was wanted by Arsenal, Newcastle, and Spurs, but because he's a United fan, he chose MU. The same with Matheus; they were just like Ighalo, who even took a pay cut to join United. By the way, this MU management under INEOS and Ratcliffe doesn't overpay players wages.

This philosophy / playing pattern of the coach i dont know how long it will take the entire team to understand it, throughout last season they failed to understand it . Is it the pre season of few weeks they will understand ? With the look of things last might be better than the coming season.

Amorim will have big problem by selecting players and given passion for player who's not up to the standard to participate in a game and still hoping for victory. imagine not using sesuo Kone who can gives him quality, standard and also balance the midfield on bench while using the useless one. such as Mount, casmiro Huijllund Shaw etc the team will not develop except Amorim change is mentally. Manchester United sold good for bad and loan the experience out to false and sell wort a useless management.

Everyone knows and understand player wanting to come to United is basically for the money, why would anyone reasonable player come to a club that barely improves and develop players for professional reasons aside the cash. They are all there for the money, including Fernandes

Don’t use the word ‘cannot afforda’, even if your club can afford him, do u even think he will make the switch from a club that worn world best club cup to and finished 4th to a club that’s not playing any European football and finished 15th? 😂 If he was your brother, would you have advice him to make that switch? 😂

Don't shine you arrogant prick..Take it easy you just starting to play good football just the other day. Enjoy the ride. Learn to practice humility. Don't kick a man just because their down.
