Manchester United’s squad overhaul continues to take shape as the club prepares for a crucial summer transfer window.
Ruben Amorim’s vision for the team is beginning to crystallise, with a clear focus on strengthening key areas before the new Premier League season kicks off.
The club’s recruitment staff have been working tirelessly to identify targets across multiple positions, balancing the need for quality with financial prudence.

United’s first pre-season performance have highlighted gaps that must be addressed urgently if United are to mount a genuine challenge on all fronts.
Now, The Athletic have confirmed the club’s transfer priorities going forward.
The Red Devils are actively pursuing reinforcements in three main areas: striker, defensive midfield, and goalkeeper.
While a new centre-forward remains the top priority, United currently have no advanced negotiations for any striker.
It’s understood that any major investment in a striker would likely require the sale of Rasmus Hojlund, whose future at Old Trafford is still undecided.
Among the forwards monitored is Benjamin Sesko, a 23-year-old RB Leipzig talent United first identified when he was just 16 at Domzale in Slovenia.
Though talks took place last summer and communication has continued this year, Benjamin Sesko is not presently a serious target.

United regard the transfer fee Leipzig would demand, combined with Sesko’s wages and last season’s Bundesliga output, as exceeding their current budget for a forward.
Portuguese reports over the weekend linked United with Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, but club sources quickly denied any bid had been made or was imminent.
While Amorim favours Gyokeres, the player is understood to be close to joining Arsenal, limiting United’s chances.
Beyond the forward line, United have also been exploring options to bolster their midfield, with particular emphasis on defensive midfielders.
Discussions at this stage remain preliminary, but strengthening in that position is considered vital to Amorim’s system.
Goalkeeper is another area of interest, with Andre Onana’s hamstring injury not expected to affect transfer plans.
Andre Onana has hopes to be fit for the opening fixture against Arsenal.
With striker, defensive midfield, and goalkeeper all identified as priorities, Manchester United face a pivotal summer in the transfer market.
