Manchester United are continuing to reshape their squad under Ruben Amorim following a difficult campaign that saw them miss out on European football.
Pre-season preparations are now underway, with new signing Matheus Cunha already training with the team and more signings expected in the coming weeks.
The club is prioritising midfield reinforcements as Amorim looks to implement a more aggressive and energetic style next season.

The Red Devils have also taken steps to avoid overpaying, learning lessons from the previous regime as they approach this transfer window with a more disciplined financial strategy.
Despite that, high-quality options remain on their radar — and one of Europe’s most in-demand midfielders is now back in focus.
According to GOAL, Manchester United have made contact with the representatives of Ederson, the dynamic Brazilian midfielder who starred for Atalanta last season.
The 26-year-old is drawing serious interest across Europe, with Juventus and Inter Milan also opening talks over a potential move.
Ederson has a release valuation of €60 million, and Atalanta are reportedly unwilling to accept anything less for their prized asset.
United previously showed interest in Ederson during the 2024 summer window but were denied as Atalanta chose to keep him during their Europa League-winning campaign.
The Brazilian has since gone from strength to strength, making 49 appearances in the 2024/25 season and logging 3,839 minutes.

Though primarily a defensive midfielder, Ederson added an attacking edge to his game, scoring five goals — four in Serie A and one in the UEFA Champions League — and contributing one assist.
His consistent form earned him recent call-ups to the Brazil national team, further elevating his value on the European market.
Ederson is under contract with Atalanta until July 2027, but the growing pressure from elite clubs may soon force the Italian side into negotiations.
United have not submitted a formal bid yet, but their early discussions suggest serious intent.
With Amorim’s side desperate to inject energy and control into midfield, Ederson’s mix of tenacity, technical quality, and attacking threat makes him an ideal fit.
Expect this story to develop rapidly — United may soon have to decide whether to meet Atalanta’s price or risk missing out to Serie A rivals.
