When the summer transfer window opens, Manchester United will face one of their most crucial periods in recent history. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, the club is set for a major squad overhaul following a disappointing season, potentially ending with their worst-ever Premier League finish. Despite being hit hard by injuries to key players like Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Amad, Amorim has discovered positives.
Notably, Alejandro Garnacho has impressed playing on the right, and academy product Ayden Heaven has proven he’s ready for the first team, developments that could save United millions in the market. Amorim emphasized the need for smart recruitment, aligned with his tactical 3-4-3 system, especially given the financial constraints under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). As a result, United plans to sell up to 10 players permanently this summer.
The emergence of Garnacho and Heaven offers flexibility and reduces the urgency to strengthen those specific positions, allowing the club to focus on priority targets like Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen. With their Europa League hopes still alive, Amorim’s leadership and the performances of young talents have given fans cautious optimism. The coming window will be key to reshaping United’s identity.
