 Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has stated his intention to sign "one or two players" this summer with the aim of making significant improvements for the club following their disappointing Premier League season.


 Manchester United had a disappointing beginning to the season, resulting in the dismissal of Erik ten Hag. In his place, Amorim was appointed; however, the team's performance has continued to struggle, leaving them mired in the lower portion of the Premier League standings.


 The ex-manager of Sporting CP favours a strict tactical approach that brought him success in Portugal. Since taking over at the club, he has signed players like Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven. Additionally, United were keen on bringing Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP this summer; however, their efforts were thwarted when Premier League competitors Chelsea secured his transfer for 2026.

<h2>
 Manchester United submit offer for Alejandro Balde
</h2>

 As reported in Spain by Fichajes
 Manchester United has submitted a £42 million bid for Barcelona’s defender Alejandro Balde, though this proposal has been promptly declined by the Spanish club. At just 21 years old, Balde holds significant importance for Barcelona, where he is considered vital to the team’s future plans. Given their current fiscal challenges, Barça would only consider letting him go for an "outlandish sum."


 The young player, aged 21, has participated in 40 matches across various competitions for Barcelona, netting one goal and contributing with eight assists as the club pursues both the La Liga championship and the Champions League trophy. Following their unsuccessful offer for the athlete, reports suggest that Manchester United may pivot towards exploring alternative prospects within the transfer window to strengthen manager Amorim’s squad before the upcoming season begins.


 Manchester United won’t have substantial funds available this summer, and their transfer activity will hinge on both player departures and whether they secure a spot in the Champions League. Without European football, attracting premier talents might prove challenging for them.

 Amorim discusses potential new acquisitions
</h2>

 Discussing the summer transfer period, Amorim commented before the Manchester derby: "My only aim is to concentrate on our strong points and utilise our club to attract one or two top talents. We're taking every step necessary to significantly improve for the upcoming season. Whether it takes four years to win the Premier League, I'm not sure. However, we must make substantial progress next year."


 A new striker is a priority for United, after difficult campaigns in front of goal for both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. The likes of Liam Delap, Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyökeres have all been named as targets but none of them will come cheaply. United will hope to raise some quick funds by sanctioning permanent exits for some of their loan players with Marcus Rashford and Antony both tipped for £40m summer moves while Chelsea have already agreed to pay around £25m to sign Jadon Sancho - although they do have the option to back out of that agreement by paying a £5m penalty.

 Manchester United
 are looking forward to making a massive clean-up this summer, planning to offload at least 10 players during the upcoming transfer window.


 The poorly performing Manchester United team is poised for significant changes, as the manager
 Ruben Amorim
 hoping for substantial alterations to his choices.


 Given Manchester United are currently 13th in the
 Premier League
 Table and only include the table.
 Europa League
 Given their efforts to salvage their season in some manner, it comes as no shock that alterations are underway.


 Some exits are already set in stone since four players' contracts expire at the season's conclusion, and they won't be receiving renewed offers.


 Jonny Evans, Tom Heaton, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelöf are all in that category and will be moving on, whether that is into retirement or to find a new club.

 Eriksen has spoken out about where he does not intend to continue his career – including America and his homeland of Denmark – but has not yet made a decision on where his next stop will be.


 The Red Devils also have a string of players they would like to sell this summer, but whether they will be able to or not is yet to be seen.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Bz11c" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Bz11c.jpg"/>

 The loaned-out quartet of Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia are among them, reports the
 Manchester Evening News
 .


 Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho at the end of his loan deal but his performances have been so underwhelming that the Blues are considering paying a penalty fee to avoid making the move permanent.


 Rashford and Antony are having encouraging times at Aston Villa and Real Betis respectively, but deals may be tricky to do given their high wages at Manchester United.


 Malacia is on loan at PSV, with the Dutch club having an option to buy him at the end of that short-term spell.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1ByTKJ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1ByTKJ.jpg"/>

 Casemiro is another player United want to sell but is earning enormous wages at Old Trafford so getting rid of him will not necessarily be straightforward.


 The 33-year-old remains under contract until 2026 and has already spoken about his desire to stay at the club for the rest of that deal, despite them preferring to sell him.


 In February, when speaking with AS, he mentioned his desire to get more regular play time; however, he intends to fulfill his contract at Old Trafford.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1xAoCP" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1xAoCP.jpg"/>

 'I hold United in high regard, a team for which I have immense gratitude,'
 he said.
 'I still have one and a half years remaining on my contract, and I wish to complete it here in Manchester. Both myself and my family are content living here; we feel at ease and have adjusted well to speaking English.'


 'I'm deeply thankful for the supporters at Old Trafford and for the club itself. I find joy in my role within the organization. Am I content being on the sidelines? Absolutely not. But that's a different matter.'


 Next are the players who aren’t exactly facing dismissal but still have unclear prospects with the team regardless.


 If Manchester United receives suitable bids, goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, injury-plagued full-back Luke Shaw, and underwhelming forward Joshua Zirkzee might all be allowed to leave.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/BB1retzU" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1retzU.jpg"/>

 The circumstances surrounding Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho remain somewhat unclear, as Manchester United might be inclined to sell them to boost their profit and sustainability metrics.


 Co-owner Jim Ratcliffe has stated that the club cannot be compelled to sell players at this time.


 No, no. We won't sell players due to our current financial situation," Ratcliffe stated to the BBC. "The club became too large, so we've downsized and aim to conclude this process with a streamlined and efficient organization.


 'That’s how we’ll tackle the expenses. All the players’ choices will concentrate on enhancing our performance. Nothing else.'

 Manchester United
 are reportedly preparing for a huge clear-out this summer with at least 10 departures on the cards.


 It is no secret that the club's new ownership and manager
 Ruben Amorim
 are looking to overhaul the squad after another desperately disappointing campaign.


 The
 Manchester Evening News
 claim United are looking to permanently sell the trio of Marcus Rashford,
 Antony
 and
 Jadon Sancho
 .


 All three players are currently on loan at other clubs after falling out of favour at Old Trafford.


 And the revenue generated from these sales will go toward bringing aboard a new accomplished goalscorer.


 Since joining Villa on loan back in January, Rashford has put in some impressive performances, but it appears that irreparable harm has been done to his prospects at the club following an open dispute with Amorim.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1ByBb8" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1ByBb8.jpg"/>

 Chelsea are required to purchase Sancho for between £20 million and £25 million, however it has come to light that they might provide United with £5 million as compensation to circumvent this agreement.


 Antony has experienced something of a career resurgence since moving to Real Betis, yet it seems unlikely he will have another chance to return as well.


 The experienced midfielder Casemiro may also be put on the market as United aims to generate funds for acquiring new players.


 Veteran players Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton are anticipated to confirm their retirement following the conclusion of this season, whereas Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof are due for release.


 It is thought that the Red Devils are looking for a new winger as several players with offensive skills are expected to leave.


 If Manchester United fails to secure a spot in European football, they might take this opportunity to reduce the size of their roster, since qualifying for either the Europa League or the Champions League ensures an additional minimum of eight matches per season.


 The future of goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is also up in the air as the Turkish stopper could seek more football in order to improve his chances of playing at next year's World Cup.


 PSV also have the option to secure left-back Tyrell Malicia permanently, whereas the club might consider selling Luke Shaw if they manage to locate a buyer due to his persistent injury issues.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Byuy0" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Byuy0.jpg"/>

 Speaking earlier this month, Amorim admitted some United players are already aware that their time at the club is coming to an end.


 He stated: "Everyone gets that in football, at times you remain, and at other times, you must depart. Should I comprehend this well enough to articulate it, I'll make sure to clarify since clarity is something I value."


 I have been an actor and I enjoy applying those experiences—when you're truthful with somebody, they can handle it. Initially, it might be challenging, but eventually, they'll grasp the situation.


 I am very upfront with my players, and occasionally they realise that they might need to find new teams once the season concludes.


 We can discuss that at the conclusion — for now, many games remain to be played. However, this is straightforward and not a complicated scenario.


 Sir Jim Ratcliffe named six big-money Man United signings that are either 'not good enough or overpaid' in an interview with Gary Neville recently.


 Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Lisandro Martinez and Andre Onana were all outed by the Ineos owner as he laid bare the club’s overspending on players in recent years.


 Ratcliffe said: ‘This summer, we will ‘buy’ Antony, we’ll ‘buy’ Sancho, we’ll ‘buy’ Casemiro, we’ll ‘buy’ Martínez, we’ll ‘buy’ Hojlund, we’ll ‘buy’ Onana, and they’re all about £17m each. If we buy nobody we’re buying those players. It’s not a light switch (that can be turned off).

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1ByIfE" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1ByIfE.jpg"/>

 ‘These are all things from the past, whether we like it or not, we've inherited those things and have to sort that out.


 ‘For Sancho, who now plays for Chelsea and we pay half his wages, we're paying £17m to buy him in the summer.


 ‘Some are not good enough and some probably are overpaid, but for us to mould the squad that we are fully responsible for, and accountable for, will take time.


 ‘It takes time for us to move away from the past into a new place in the future. We've got this period of transformation where we move from the past to the future.


 ‘There are some great players in the squad as we know, the captain is a fabulous footballer. We definitely need Bruno (Fernandes), he's a fantastic footballer.’

Bruno Fernandes Marah Besar pada Kapten Legendaris Man United yang Ucapkan Kasar

 Gelandang Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes, sakit hati akibat omongan pedas dari kapten legendaris klubnya.
 


 Bruno Fernandes mendapat kepercayaan untuk menggantikan Harry Maguire sebagai kapten Man United.


 Performa apik selama bermain di Old Trafford membuat eks pilar Sporting itu naik kelas menjadi pemimpin tim.


 Namun, tak sedikit pula yang nyinyir terhadap kepemimpinan Fernandes.


 Mantan ketua tim Manchester United, Roy Keane, adalah salah satu dari banyak kritikus Bruno Fernandes.


 Dia menyebutkan bahwa sang pria asal Portugal itu perlu menunjukkan lebih dari sekedar bakat sebagai seorang pesepakbola.


 Sejak kutukan itu muncul, Fernandes telah memperlihatkan penampilan yang luar biasa.


 Fernandes mencetak tiga gol untuk menolong Manchester United mengalahkan Real Sociedad di pertandingan kedua babak 16 besar Liga Europa musim 2024-2025.


 Selanjutnya pada pertandingan terakhir yang berlangsung Minggu (17/3/2025), pemain tengah tersebut mencetak satu gol serta menyumbangkan dua assist dalam kemenangan 3-0 Manchester United atas Leicester City.


 Ketika melakukan wawancara post-match, Fernandes dikritik tentang pernyataannya yang tajam dari Keane. Dia kemudian ditanyai apakah dia merasa tersinggung atau malah menjadi terdorong oleh komentar tersebut.


 "Keduanya (merasakan sakit hati dan terdorisi)," kata individu yang berusia 30 tahun tersebut menurut kutipan Dailymail.


 Tentu saja, rasanya tidak enak mendengarkan hal-hal negatif tentang diri sendiri; siapa pun pasti merasakan begitu juga dengan Anda. Akan tetapi, pada saat yang sama, ini memberikan dorongan bagi saya untuk membangkitkan pemikiran bahwa orang lain melihat masih banyak aspek dalam diri Anda yang perlu ditingkatkan.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B5rwk" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B5rwk.jpg"/>

 "Beginilah caranya ia melihat saya sebagaimana posisi pemain dan juga kapten. Saya perlu menghargai hal tersebut," jelas Fernandes tambahan.


 Selanjutnya, Keane memuji sosok Keane walaupun merasa kecewa.


 Pemain dengan nomor punggung 8 tersebut berkata, 'Saya sadar Anda sedang bicara soal Roy Keane. Dia mendapat penghargaan saya yang besar,'.


 Saya rasa ia merupakan salah satu dari kapten paling handal yang pernah di miliki tim tersebut. Seorang atlet kelas atas bagi klub itu, secara fundamental telah membawa semua prestasi ke dalam genggaman mereka.


 "Tapi jelas, tidak semua orang akan menyukainya, tidak semua orang akan berpikir dengan cara yang sama, dan saya menghormati setiap pendapat semua orang."


 "Saya harus menerima bahwa masih banyak ruang untuk perbaikan dalam permainan dan kepemimpinan saya," pungkas Fernandes.


 Tak perlu waktu lama bagi Fernandes untuk menjadi bintang baru Man United.


 Sejak datang ke Teater Impian pada Januari 2020, dia langsung menjadi andalan klub.


 Seluruh 95 gol dan 81 assist dicetak oleh Fernandes saat memakai seragam United.


 Berbicara tentang trofi pemenang, Fernandes hanya menambahkan satu gelar Piala FA dan Piala Liga Inggris bagi Manchester United.
