Manchester United and Ruben Amorim now face even more competition over one experienced Premier League player in the summer transfer window, according to stunning reports.
The summer transfer window opened earlier this month and Manchester United signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves after activating his £62.5m transfer fee.
This summer’s transfer window temporarily closed for a six-day period on 10th June due to the reformatted FIFA Club World Cup starting in North America.
The transfer window reopened on 16th June and United are expected to see more signings arrive at Old Trafford ahead of the new Premier League season.
Ruben Amorim is expected to overhaul the United first-team squad with a major clearout as well amid the looming start of the Red Devils’ pre-season tour in July.
United’s Premier League season will begin against Arsenal in August and the Red Devils have until 1st September to bring in any signings before the window closes.

Why Atletico Madrid have turned to Emiliano Martinez amid the Man Utd and Saudi Arabia transfer interest in Aston Villa star
The Daily Telegraph reports that Atletico Madrid are ‘monitoring’ Emiliano Martinez’s situation this summer and the Aston Villa ace could replace Jan Oblak at the club.
Jan Oblak has been a key player for Atletico manager Diego Simeone, but the 32-year-old Slovenian’s long-term future remains uncertain at the La Liga club.
The newspaper added that United have been linked with Martinez, but the Red Devils are reportedly not pursuing an immediate deal to sign the shot-stopper.
It is believed that ‘a deal’ for Martinez is ‘not something’ that is ‘being looked at’ by United amid the Premier League club’s financial constraints this summer.
