Manchester United are hoping to offload several attacking players this summer as Ruben Amorim rebuilds his squad.
Manchester United must score more goals next season as Ruben Amorim prepares for his first full season in charge.
Matheus Cunha has joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers, providing a major boost to Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 setup.
United are still chasing more signings in the final third, though Tottenham Hotspur are offering competition for Bryan Mbeumo.
United may need to offload attacking players in order to truly rebuild Amorim’s options, with loaned-out trio Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho all available.
Those three players are returning to United from Aston Villa, Real Betis and Chelsea respectively, but all look primed to leave permanently.

Napoli show interest in Man Utd’s Jadon Sancho
Sancho is a particularly intriguing case.
United signed Sancho from Borussia Dortmund four years ago, but he simply hasn’t lived up to expectations.
Chelsea have sent Sancho back to United after taking him on loan this past season, paying £5million to scrap a potential permanent move.

The winger will return to United this summer but still has no future as United look to engineer a permanent exit rather than another loan.
Aston Villa are interested in Sancho, but a new suitor has now joined the race for his signature.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Napoli are now ‘making an attempt’ to sign Sancho this summer.
Napoli recently signed Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer and now want to add Sancho to Antonio Conte’s side.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia departed Napoli for PSG in January and the Serie A side are still searching for a new left-winger.
Sancho could be their man, and United are unlikely to put up much resistance if they come in with a serious permanent move.
Alejandro Garnacho impact
Rumours of Napoli being interested in signing a United winger aren’t exactly new, though Sancho isn’t the name we expected.
Napoli are interested in Alejandro Garnacho and even looked at the Argentinian as a potential January signing following Kvaratskhelia’s exit.
Napoli may now be moving on to Sancho instead, who would be a cheaper addition in terms of the transfer fee required, but perhaps not in terms of wages.
Sancho allegedly earns around £300,000-a-week at United and doesn’t want to take a cut on that deal if he leaves.
Napoli are unlikely to sanction that kind of deal and may still have Garnacho in mind, though the Serie A side will surely only want to finalise a deal for one rather than both – and still leave United to find a buyer for the other.
