Manchester United are making significant strides in their summer rebuild under Ruben Amorim.
So far, Matheus Cunha has already arrived to strengthen the attack, and discussions over Bryan Mbeumo have been ongoing for the past few weeks.
Yet, amid all the incoming movement, the bigger challenge facing United is managing their existing roster, particularly the high-wage players slowing down their transfer strategy.

That strategy now hinges on a simple equation: generate funds through departures to secure star reinforcements.
United have a number of first-team names—such as Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony—who are deemed surplus to requirements, but their long contracts and substantial wages have complicated potential sales.
Manchester United could land a major midfield signing—either Atalanta’s Ederson or Crystal Palace rising star Adam Wharton—if and only if they succeed in shifting high-earners, as reported by ESPN.
Amassing transfer fees from outgoing deals will unlock the room needed to pursue either of these highly-rated midfielders.

United see Ederson’s creative passing and Adam Wharton’s youthful dynamism as ideal complements to their evolving tactics and broader squad balance.
Ederson was valued at around £50 million, a figure reportedly beyond United’s current budget, but this new report suggests they could be in for the midfielder once again.
Essentially, Ederson or Adam Wharton wouldn’t just be another new face—they’d represent a strategic investment, but only possible with financial flexibility.
After pursuing Bryan Mbeumo, Manchester United will remain in the market for another striker.
Strengthening their attacking depth continues to be a priority ahead of the new season.
As the window continues, the club will be evaluating how quickly they can offload those bulky contracts.
The sooner they do, the more realistic a move for high-quality midfield reinforcements becomes.
Manchester United are sat on a turning point—a summer overhaul that hinges on clear business decisions.
Clean out the expensive names, free the budget, and Ruben Amorim’s midfield target list becomes more than just potential—it becomes a real possibility.
