Ruben Amorim has wasted no time in outlining his vision for Manchester United, with early transfer activity already taking shape behind the scenes.
The Portuguese boss is expected to be backed heavily by INEOS as United look to refresh the squad after another underwhelming campaign.
While outgoings like Marcus Rashford are gaining traction following his loan stint at Aston Villa, the club’s recruitment drive is already in motion.

The recent capture of young stars and growing interest in Premier League players like Nelson Semedo and Liam Delap point to a strategy targeting both experience and potential.
But it’s a forward already well-acquainted with the English top flight who is primed to become Amorim’s first major signing.
Manchester United are set to open their summer rebuild by signing Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the player having already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal, including an optional extra year.
The 25-year-old impressed last season with 17 league goals for Wolves, and is seen as the type of versatile attacker capable of thriving under Amorim’s system at Old Trafford.
Matheus Cunha is expected to wear the No.10 shirt currently occupied by Marcus Rashford, further fuelling talk of the England forward’s exit following a productive loan spell at Villa Park.

However, despite an agreement being in place with Cunha’s camp, United have yet to trigger the £62.5million release clause in his contract.
That clause is structured as three instalments of £20.85m over a two-year period – a figure that, while manageable, still requires formal commitment from United’s hierarchy, as per the Daily Mail.
Cunha’s arrival could mark the beginning of what is likely to be a summer filled with both arrivals and departures as Amorim stamps his identity on a squad in need of clarity and consistency.
United’s move for Cunha sends an early statement – but unless the clause is triggered soon, fans will remain in limbo over their first major addition.
