Manchester United know this summer could define the next five years of their rebuild – and drastic change is on the way.
With Ruben Amorim struggling to get consistent performances out of the current squad, INEOS are preparing for a window that could see several exits.
Including one or two homegrown players, to comply with PSR rules and raise crucial funds.
While some major names are expected to depart, United’s recruitment strategy is now firmly focused on the future.

The Red Devils want to invest in high-ceiling talent early, before their market value explodes.
Recent moves for Chido Obi-Martin, Ayden Heaven, Diego Leon, Leny Yoro and Patrick Dorgu highlight the new direction.
Now, another name is firmly on the list in the form of River Plate’s Franco Mastantuono, with United submitting an offer for the star.

The attacking midfielder has been lighting up the Argentine top flight with standout performances.
Including a spectacular free-kick winner in the Superclasico against Boca Juniors.
United’s bid is believed to be in line with his £38 million release clause.
Although River Plate intend to keep him until at least January 2026.
The deal can only be finalised after his 18th birthday in mid-August.
However, there is now major competition.
PSG open talks with priority transfer target Franco Mastantuono
Journalist @GerGarciaGrova on X reports that PSG have made the 17-year-old a transfer priority and opened talks over a deal.
The French champions now join a long list of clubs monitoring his situation, though many have yet to make a move.
Unlike others, PSG are showing immediate intent and are prepared to rival United’s interest.
River remain hopeful of keeping their star until the end of 2026.
However, the pressure is increasing with Europe’s elite clubs circling.

With Real Madrid also lurking, United must act decisively if they want to avoid a repeat of the Enzo Fernandez saga.
Another Argentine talent they followed closely before losing out.
Mastantuono fits Amorim’s system perfectly, offering flair, creativity, and defensive work rate.
A skillset that could one day thrive in the Premier League.
But the bigger picture is clear: if United fail to qualify for the Champions League this season, attracting elite young players will become even harder.
Clubs like PSG will continue to swoop in first.
