Ruben Amorim has a clear plan this summer, focusing on targeted additions rather than being swept up in chaotic transfer chases.
Manchester United have already turned down numerous players pitched to them in recent weeks, as INEOS sharpens its focus on long-term value.
The Red Devils are expected to prioritise certain positions, but only under the right conditions and with backing from Amorim’s data-led team.

Despite rumours swirling around several Premier League names, United’s inner circle has remained calm, preferring to move silently and decisively behind the scenes.
Now, fresh reports have emerged linking United with Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku – but sources close to the club have firmly pushed back.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United recently contacted Nkunku’s representatives to clarify their stance following claims that Chelsea believed there was strong Old Trafford interest.
United made it crystal clear to the player’s camp that they are not actively pursuing the Frenchman, and certainly not to the extent Chelsea had suggested.

The club’s hierarchy were reportedly surprised by suggestions that a move could be imminent or that United had expressed serious intent behind the scenes.
Christopher Nkunku, has endured a frustrating spell in London, battling injuries and inconsistency.
Despite his talent and versatility, United do not view him as a priority target and have no current plans to launch a formal approach.
This comes amid a broader shift in recruitment strategy under Amorim and INEOS, with a clear emphasis on profile fit, attitude, injury record and long-term development.
It’s understood United are wary of players being offered to them for quick fixes or to solve other clubs’ financial concerns.
While Nkunku’s name continues to surface in gossip columns, United fans shouldn’t expect any surprise swoops.
The message from Carrington is clear: interest has been overstated, and the club will not be pressured into moves that don’t align with Amorim’s vision.
For now, United remain focused on shaping a balanced squad – and Nkunku isn’t part of that equation.
