In a surprising disclosure that has energized Manchester United supporters, new head coach Ruben Amorim openly shared his vision for the team and the key signings he aims to make this summer.
In an exclusive interview, Amorim revealed, “I wanted this signing to happen in January, but the funds weren’t available yet.
This is how I want the team to look if we’re serious about winning the league.”
He was referring to Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, currently at Wolverhampton Wanderers, who is reportedly a top target for the upcoming transfer window.
Cunha, 25, has impressed in the Premier League with his versatility and attacking flair, and Amorim views him as the ideal partner to Rasmus Højlund, adding flexibility and a new dimension to the attack.
However, Cunha is not the only player on Amorim’s wishlist. Insider sources reveal that he has provided the club’s recruitment team with a shortlist of three major targets.
Alongside Cunha are Sporting CP’s midfield maestro Morten Hjulmand and Benfica’s promising centre-back António Silva—both fitting perfectly into Amorim’s pressing and possession-based approach.
If Manchester United can secure these signings, Amorim believes his squad will finally be capable of challenging Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League crown. A projected starting lineup could be:
Onana; Dalot, Silva, Martínez, Shaw; Hjulmand, Mainoo; Cunha, Fernandes, Garnacho; Højlund.
Amorim’s remarks mark a fresh wave of ambition and strategic clarity at Old Trafford. With the board reportedly backing the 39-year-old coach with a sizable summer budget, fans eagerly await tangible progress as United aims to restore its domestic dominance.
This summer’s rebuild feels authentic—and Amorim’s United looks set to be a very different team by August.
This bold announcement from Ruben Amorim signals a clear intent and injects hope for fans tired of recent disappointments.
His targeted signings—Matheus Cunha, Morten Hjulmand, and António Silva—reflect a smart, forward-looking strategy grounded in tactical identity and adaptability.
