By Kingsley Ruben Amorim will face the biggest challenge of his professional management career next season, as he looks to take Manchester United back to their former glory. The 40-year-old was appointed back in November last year but was unable to transform their fortunes as they finished in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
This summer presents him with the opportunity to make the additions he wants to improve the current situation at Old Trafford. With the transfer window now in full swing, the hierarchy have wasted no time in backing Amorim, targeting numerous players in various areas of the pitch.
The latest on United’s hunt for new additions this summer
Hayden Hackney has been one of the main midfield targets for United throughout the course of the summer window, with the club reportedly scouting him in recent weeks at the U21 Euros.
In the attacking department, Hugo Ekitiké was of keen interest, but a deal has stalled after his £84m asking price was revealed.
Meanwhile, the backline looks set to be the next focus, with reports stating that Manchester United have made an offer for Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo. The Uruguayan defender is currently valued at £38m by the LaLiga club.
