Manchester United supporters will be keenly watching the summer transfer window after a dismal season.
Ruben Amorim's squad wrapped up the season with their worst-ever Premier League standing (15th), following a defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final last Wednesday.
However, the Red Devils did manage to secure their first home league victory since February, triumphing 2-0 over Aston Villa on the final day.
They now face one of the most crucial transfer windows in recent memory, with Matheus Cunha strongly tipped to be United's first summer signing. There's also a raft of players rumoured to be heading for the Old Trafford exit.
Here are some of the latest headlines surrounding the Red Devils, reports the Manchester Evening News.
