Manchester United have prioritised attacking additions in the summer transfer window as they begin their squad rebuild under Ruben Amorim. Matheus Cunha was unveiled as the first summer signing a week ago and United are still favourites to sign Bryan Mbeumo despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Amorim would also like to add a striker to his squad, with Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike the latest option to emerge as a possible candidate. The 22-year-old is not expected to be short of options this summer, though, with Liverpool another side that could rival them for the forward.
There are also set to be plenty of summer exits in attack as United look to raise valuable funds, with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Jadon Sancho all available for transfer. Here are the shirt numbers that could become available if all of those deals come off.
