Manchester United are probing the market for reinforcements and could now be about to strike to bring one of the best players in the world to Old Trafford, per a report.

After a wretched campaign last term, Ruben Amorim will hope some major tweaks can help his side enjoy a far more successful time of things in the Premier League, alongside putting up a better challenge in both cup competitions.
No European football has taken a financial toll at the club. Still, bringing in Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon for a combined £140.5 million is a sign that INEOS are serious about bringing glory back to Old Trafford by investing in the playing squad.

Sharing that ambition, Amorim has claimed Manchester United can win the Premier League or Champions League again due to their pedigree as one of football's most successful clubs.
He stated: "I know it's a massive gap from where we finished - but it's Manchester United. We need to return to Europe. I have no doubts.
“There are some things you cannot buy that this club has: pedigree, history, fans. With all these things, if we have a different culture, we can return to our place."

Laying claim to the Premier League Summer Series trophy may prove to be a solid foundation to build on as Amorim's players continue to acclimatise to his style. However, there are still too many faces needing replaced to breed a new culture of success.
Financially, the Red Devils may need to scope out ways of recruiting quality without major transfer fees involved, and they could now be about to submit a bid for a world-renowned star who could be available this summer.
Manchester United set to submit bid for Gianluigi Donnarumma
According to Stretty News, Manchester United are preparing a £26 million bid for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, which may be enough to tempt him to England as he enters the last year of his deal in France.
The Italy international has been subject of heavy interest from Turkey this window and also rejected a £20 million-a-year contract to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
Contending for this year's Ballon d'Or, Donnarumma kept 17 clean sheets in 47 matches for Paris Saint-Germain and played a pivotal role in their run to becoming holders of the Champions League.
Interest in his services from Manchester United has been well-documented in recent weeks, though his arrival would likely plunge the future of Andre Onana between the sticks into major doubt.
Lucas Chavelier has been brought in at Paris Saint-Germain, signifying a change of guard between the sticks, and the Red Devils could be set to follow suit if they can find an agreeable package for all parties between now and the close of play on the market.
