Manchester United’s post-season tour continues with more scrutiny than sparkle, as the Red Devils aim to rebuild from their dismal Premier League campaign.
Ruben Amorim remains firmly in charge, with growing support from both players and fans, but there’s an undeniable urgency to reshape the squad this summer.
United’s recruitment drive has already seen them heavily linked with several forwards, especially following the likely exit of fringe attackers and the ongoing wage restructuring plan.

After missing out on Liam Delap and with Viktor Gyokeres weighing up offers, United are expanding their search to younger, high-upside prospects.
That’s led them to Christian Kofane, the 18-year-old Cameroonian striker causing a stir in Spain’s second division.
Christian Kofane, who joined Albacete Balompie just last November, has exploded onto the scene with eight goals and an assist in 19 league appearances, quickly becoming one of the hottest youth properties in Europe.
Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo reports that Manchester United have not only shown interest but have already made contact to explore a summer deal.
The youngster’s rise has attracted attention from heavyweights including Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and AS Monaco, but it’s United who, along with the latter two, are reportedly ‘in pole position’.
Kofane is available for just €5 million due to a release clause in his contract, a price tag that could prove a bargain for a forward with his physicality, pace, and raw potential.

Atletico Madrid were believed to have made the first formal approach but have since stalled, giving United a potential opening to move quickly.
While Albacete are resigned to losing their starlet, they are reportedly hoping to negotiate a loan-back agreement for next season if his clause is triggered.
For United, it could be a classic INEOS-style move: low-risk, high-reward.
Whether Kofane arrives immediately or is developed further in Spain, his name is now firmly in the conversation as part of United’s long-term vision for attacking reinforcements.
With a modest fee and a skillset that’s attracting scouts across Europe, Christian Kofane could soon be trading Albacete for Old Trafford.
