Man Utd might need to alter their expectations in the summer transfer window.

Manchester United have some big decisions to make as they look to rebuild their squad in the summer transfer window. Ruben Amorim wants to improve the overall fitness and athleticism of his first-team and will target players who have already proven themselves in the Premier League.

A deal has been agreed for Wolves star Matheus Cunha to join the club later this month, while they are also interested in another attacking midfielder and a striker. It is understood United have an initial base budget in the region of £100 million, which could be bolstered by player sales.

United are open to offers for every player this summer, with Bruno Fernandes one of those who could leave the club. The Athletic have taken a look at the 'sensible' transfers United complete this summer, with players who fit the current style of play and would fit Amorim's transfer criteria. Here is a look at the hypothetical line up for next season.
