Manchester United’s pre-season will be under the watchful eye of Ruben Amorim, who is eager to finalise his squad before the summer window heats up.
The club has already parted ways with several fringe players, and focus has now shifted to who might be next out the door — and more importantly, who might arrive.
Amorim’s tactical shift to a 3-4-3 system has influenced the kind of attacking players United are targeting, with wide forwards and pressing wingers now top priority.

That, in turn, has raised serious internal discussions about the futures of players who don’t naturally fit into his style, especially those whose market value could fund new signings.
Among the players attracting outside interest is one of United’s most exciting young stars — and it looks like a decision is close.
Reports suggest that Chelsea are still actively assessing Alejandro Garnacho as a summer option, with Manchester United open to cashing in if a suitable offer arrives.
Sources close to the situation claim the Red Devils would consider bids of around €55 million, a figure that has caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe.
The Stamford Bridge outfit are searching for a long-term replacement for Jadon Sancho, who will not be returning after his loan stint, and Alejandro Garnacho fits their young, high-ceiling profile perfectly.

CaughtOffside have confirmed that Chelsea are not the only suitor for Garnacho’s signature, with Napoli, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen — now managed by Erik ten Hag — also keeping tabs on the Argentine winger.
Napoli remain particularly keen, having explored a move for Garnacho in January, and could rival Chelsea in the coming weeks.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, would prefer a loan deal, but United are reportedly more interested in a permanent sale to raise funds for incoming players.
The move has sparked concern among United fans, many of whom believe Garnacho’s ceiling is far too high to justify letting him leave so early in his career.
At just 20 years old, Garnacho has shown glimpses of brilliance, including clutch goals in high-pressure moments — but his inconsistency has made him a topic of hot debate at boardroom level.
For now, it seems that United are willing to listen — and if Chelsea get their way, Garnacho might just follow Mason Mount down the same Premier League path.
