Ruben Amorim makes exciting claim about Man United's transfer plans
United's summer transfer window so far
Heading into the ongoing summer transfer window, bolstering the attacking department was United's top priority, following a goal-shy 2024/25 season.
United have partially achieved this through the acquisitions of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford respectively. They were two of the league's most dangerous attackers last term, notching a combined 35 top-flight goals.
The Red Devils also announced the arrivals of youngsters Diego Leon and Enzo Kana-Biyik. Leon's move to Old Trafford was however negotiated and agreed in January. The Paraguayan has been integrated into the first team while Kana-Biyik was sent out on loan to INEOS-owned FC Lausanne Sport in Switzerland.
At the moment, United's focus appears to be on securing the services of a top-class striker, with RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko believed to be the leading name on their list.
But, Amorim also recently expressed a desire to sign a goalkeeper amidst uncertainty over the long-term suitability of Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano also relayed that United are likely to recruit a midfielder.
United's financial troubles have been well-documented and the sentiment has consistenly been that the club needs to sell before they can dip into the market but Amorim has insisted that money to spend on players is available.
Amorim on United's transfer activity
The Portuguese coach told The Telegraph, 'I think if we were in a different moment, I would be more concerned about that [rival clubs spending more than United].'
'I'm really happy with the players that we bring in. They proved themselves in the Premier League, so I'm not concerned about the physical aspect. All the players that we want to bring to Manchester, any coach would want them.'
'I can guarantee you, if you bring any manager here, they will say: 'Bryan, thank you. Matheus Cunha, thank you.' And then you have the potential of these kids that are really important for us.'
Many may feel that United are smiles away from challenging for football's most prestigious trophies like the Premier League and Champions League.
However, Amorim does not share this opinion. He noted, 'I have no doubts because there are some things that you cannot buy and this club has that – the pedigree, the history, the fans.'
'We have that. I think that is clear. Then the money. We have money. We have money without the Champions League. So we can. We'll have money and more money in the future. And we are doing everything.'
'You talk with Omar and all these guys, they are making all the strategy to have more money in the future. So that will not be a problem. And then I think it's clearly the culture. If we have a different culture, with all the pedigree, the money, all these things, we can return to our place. And that is clear.'

Hundred 'can secure counties' futures'
The millions generated by the sale of teams in The Hundred franchise should "secure the future of counties for a generation", says departing Leicestershire chief executive Sean Jarvis. Richard Gould, chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), told BBC's Test Match Special this week that Leicestershire would receive £28m following the sales which raised about £520m. Speaking to BBC Radio Leicestershire, Jarvis said that was the figure he was expecting to arrive at the club - but warned it must be invested soundly. "Financially it has been incredibly difficult for a club of our size to compete," he said. "£28m is the figure that has been bandied about. We have no reason to not believe that and we should see £28m come to Leicestershire. "Leicestershire can secure its future for more than a generation if it is spent wisely. The long-term can be really healthy and successful. "What it must not do is fritter away the money - £28m can easily be wasted as you have seen in other sports." The final year of The Hundred as we know it? 'Seminal moment' - stakes sold in six Hundred teams Counties to receive Hundred money from Thursday Jarvis announced this year that it would be his final one with the club. He says the funds must be used to develop Grace Road into a facility that can make money all year round and secure the county's long-term future. "Our debts are around £2m - this money will allow the club to get rid of those debts," he said. "What you do with that money is a club decision and the members should have a say. In the next five years they have to decide what it is they can build here that can generate income for the club. "The vision is there, but Leicestershire can't survive on playing cricket at the ground for 60-odd days a year. They have to make the ground state of the art, and one that can generate money."
