Fabrizio Romano reveals two Manchester United priority transfers and four who will leave this summer
Man Utd have switched their attention to the summer transfer window and the next stage of their rebuild under Ruben Amorim.
Fabrizio Romano says Manchester United have already identified the two positions they plan to strengthen as a priority in the summer transfer window.
It was a relatively quiet January window at Old Trafford, with defensive duo Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven signed, while there was not a single senior permanent sale. United prioritised loan exits instead, as Ruben Amorim looked to ease the tight financial situation and put the wheels in motion for what will be a much busier summer window.
The focus will switch to permanent moves at the end of the season, as Amorim looks to reinforce his squad with high-intensity players, while they will also entertain offers for just about any player in the senior squad. Transfer guru Romano says United have already identified which two positions they want to strengthen the most this summer and that they already know which players they would like to get rid of as well.
United have two priority positions
In his latest column for GIVEMESPORT, transfer guru Romano gave an update on United's transfer plans and revealed they are looking to sign both a striker and an attacking midfielder this summer. He also named four players likely to leave the club, though there could be double that many departures with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antony also available for full transfer.
"Several players are expected to leave, including Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and more based on proposals they will receive," Romano said. "The clear intention is to invest in young players with salaries in line with the new plan wanted by INEOS, trusting Ruben Amorim’s idea as he keeps telling the club how crucial it is to bring in players who can give intensity to this squad - this is the key word that will dominate the summer window for Man United.
"For sure, the intention is to bring in at least one player able to play behind the strikers and one centre-forward, a proper number nine who can score goals regularly. But while it’s still too early to make decisions, for sure the plan is clear and after January, Man United can fully focus on the summer window."
