Manchester United’s summer rebuild under Ruben Amorim continues to take shape with urgency and intent.
The club have made it clear they are prepared to spend big—if it means securing players who align with the new manager’s high-intensity style.
With pre-season fixtures underway, Amorim has tested several formations and tactical tweaks, with his 3-4-2-1 base system remaining at the heart of the setup.

One of the standout challenges has been replacing the creative spark United have lacked in wide areas, especially with the inconsistency in goals from the flanks.
This has led to a focused pursuit of players who can offer flexibility, pressing intensity, and end product.
Manchester United and Brentford have reached an agreement with Bryan Mbeumo, and the terms of his contract highlight just how vital the club believes he will be in this new era.
According to Fabrizio Romano via X, the 25-year-old has signed a deal that runs until June 2030, with United holding an option to extend it by a further year until 2031.
United were firm during negotiations about including the extra one year option in the agreement, ensuring they have long-term security over their investment.
It comes after Brentford rejected United’s initial proposal of £55 million plus £7.5 million in add-ons—matching a £62.5 million valuation that wasn’t enough to tempt the Bees.
Brentford raised their asking price to £70 million and, after tense back-and-forth talks, both clubs finally reached a deal worth up to £71 million.

Mbeumo’s arrival brings not only versatility and Premier League experience but a tactical asset who can operate across the frontline, much to Amorim’s satisfaction.
He has previously featured on both wings, up front, and even as a wing-back for Brentford, showcasing the type of adaptability the United boss craves.
This long-term commitment signals a major shift in United’s recruitment focus—building a squad around players who can be moulded across a multi-year plan.
Bryan Mbeumo will join the squad in the coming days as United look to accelerate their preparations for the new campaign.
He becomes one of the most important signings for the club this window, and one that is clearly expected to be part of its long-term future.
