Manchester United’s transfer window could define the Ruben Amorim era before it’s even begun.
After a dismal 17th league defeat to West Ham, the Portuguese boss admitted the club must be “brave” this summer, calling for sweeping changes.
The Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur might offer a glimmer of redemption, but United’s domestic campaign is already their worst in over half a century.

With just two fixtures remaining — against Champions League-chasing Chelsea and Aston Villa — United are certain to record their joint-lowest top-flight finish since relegation in 1974.
Off the pitch, things aren’t any prettier, as Kobbie Mainoo has rejected a new contract and several senior stars are expected to leave.
Behind the scenes, United have drawn up plans for up to four major signings in a ruthless overhaul of their struggling squad, as per the Manchester Evening News.
Fixing the front line is the priority, with United scoring in just 24 of their 38 league matches and ending the campaign on a shocking -11 goal difference.
Despite financial constraints, club sources remain confident they can add firepower without selling key players.

Wolves star Matheus Cunha is edging closer to a move, with the Brazilian keen on a switch to Old Trafford in a proposed £62.5million deal.
He could be joined by Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, who has been identified as the prime candidate to eventually replace Rasmus Højlund as United’s leading man up front.
Delap, just 22, has a £30m release clause and emerged from Manchester City’s academy during Jason Wilcox’s time as director — a key factor in United’s pursuit.
There’s also movement expected in midfield, with Christian Eriksen set to leave and Casemiro’s future uncertain going into the final year of his contract.
Any further arrivals are expected to be funded by outgoings in the transfer window, with United hoping to move on more than ten players including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Tyrell Malacia.
After half a century, United are staring at a rebuild not seen since the post-relegation era.
