Manchester United’s board is under mounting pressure to deliver smart, forward-thinking signings as the club prepares for a critical summer overhaul.
The Red Devils are expected to prioritise young, high-potential talents who can develop under Ruben Amorim’s system while bringing fresh energy to a squad that has stagnated domestically.
With Champions League qualification still hanging in the balance, United’s board are backing Amorim to oversee a reshaping of the dressing room — and scouting missions across Europe are already well underway.

United have long admired France’s talent production line, with Amad Diallo for example, previously brought in as a prospect from abroad.
The club remains active in Ligue 1, where several young attackers are gaining attention from top English clubs.
Amorim is reportedly keen on technical players who are comfortable between the lines and offer positional flexibility in attack.
In that context, Manchester United were reportedly monitoring Rayan Cherki, the highly rated Lyon playmaker who is attracting significant Premier League interest.
It’s reported that Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham have all enquired about the 20-year-old according to Le Parisien.

Rayan Cherki, who is entering the final year of his contract at Lyon, is expected to be sold this summer if he does not renew.
The French club are open to offers, knowing that the attacking midfielder won’t fetch his full market value due to his contract situation.
United see this as a potential opportunity to swoop in at a lower fee and add a creative spark to a midfield that has often lacked invention.
Although no official bid has been submitted by United, the club’s recruitment department has been alerted to the increasing activity around Cherki, and internal discussions have taken place about the feasibility of making a move.
With his technical flair, versatility, and age profile, Cherki fits the mould of United’s new recruitment approach — and a Premier League bidding war could be on the horizon.
