Manchester United is in a challenging situation where they must reassemble their team in order to recover from the previous campaign, but they have little money to do so.
The fact that United finished 15th in the Premier League and missed out on a wildcard qualification to the Champions League after losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final makes it more difficult.
They don’t even have European football to offer as a lure next season.
Despite the signing of Matheus Cunha and ongoing pursuit on Bryan Mbeumo, the club are yet to act on the midfield.

Christian Eriksen has left the Red Devils after the expiration of his contract.
Casemiro is aging fast and could also leave soon.
In order to raise money for the team and free up £350,000 in weekly salaries, United may decide to sell the midfield player as part of their summer rebuild.
Now, reports have emerged of a shock move for a £26 million star.
As per Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United have made a move for Richard Ríos in the last few hours.
AS Roma recently offered £22m, but Palmeiras want £26m.

Rios has impressed since joining Palmeiras in 2023 and dominated midfield in a Club World Cup performance against Porto, catching the eye with his high energy and physical presence.
He gained attention for his performances in the 2024 Copa América, where he was a key player for Colombia, contributing to their run to the final.
He is comfortable dribbling and progressing the ball through the midfield, and has good vision and passing range.
With Casemiro potentially departing, Rios could be the perfect replacement for the future of United’s midfield.
