Ruben Amorim’s summer rebuild is already well underway at Old Trafford.
Manchester United’s new boss has made it clear that key attacking reinforcements are a priority as pre-season draws nearer.
Several fringe players are expected to leave, including the likes of Jadon Sancho and Antony, which could free up funds for fresh signings.

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes continues to be pursued by Al-Hilal, but the captain has reportedly rejected their offer.
Elsewhere, United have been linked to Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Now, a fresh twist has emerged in United’s pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo.
The Brentford forward is believed to be keen on joining Manchester United this summer after enjoying his most prolific campaign in England to date.
Reports suggesting that the 25-year-old has already decided on a move to Old Trafford have not gone down well with Brentford’s hierarchy.
There has been no formal contact between the two clubs, nor has a transfer fee been discussed, with one source warning that United could “look a bit silly” if no agreement is eventually reached.

Thomas Frank has admitted Bryan Mbeumo could depart this summer but has also made it clear that it would take a “nice, nice amount” for Brentford to sanction the move.
With Newcastle United also long-time admirers of the Cameroon international, Brentford now feel emboldened to raise their asking price.
According to the Telegraph, a £60 million valuation has been floated behind the scenes, though there is currently no release clause in the player’s contract.
Mbeumo’s return of 20 goals and 7 assists last season, combined with his ability to play anywhere across the front three, makes him a highly attractive option.
However, Brentford are determined to keep Yoane Wissa and will not allow both attackers to leave in the same window.
United’s interest is concrete – but their next move will have to be calculated, especially with Brentford known for their tough stance in negotiations.
