Buy center & clear redundant staff & leave B fees! Only by doing these eight things can Manchester United get out of the 24/25 season haze

If Manchester United wants to get out of the 24/25 season next season, what must they do well in this summer’s transfer period? Goal author Richard Martin talks about this topic.

After the end of the disastrous 24/25 season, Amorin reminded fans at Old Trafford: "I said the storm is coming. Today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you that good days are coming."

Although fans have every reason to boo the coach who led the team to the worst season in 51 years, the reality is: all the fans on the scene cheered his speeches in the sky.

Therefore, Manchester United must take action during the transfer period this summer to ensure that the Portuguese coach, who is still supported by fans, can fulfill his promise.

Speaking of which, Manchester United is now in the big hole they dug, because when they hired Amorin midway through the season, they clearly knew the football style he wanted. Manchester United's lineup is completely inconsistent with the coach's idea and lacks players with sufficient physical fitness to deal with his high-intensity playing style.

Now, Amorin has a summer to reshape the team's lineup according to his own ideas. It is worth noting, however, that due to financial problems and the risk of violating the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules - especially after Manchester United lost the UEFA Cup final to Tottenham Hotspur, thus missing the “golden ticket” of Champions League qualification and its accompanying generous bonuses - Amorin may not be able to complete the reconstruction he wants. Manchester United reportedly prepared a £100 million budget for this summer's transfer, and they have finalized a transfer deal for Wolves attacker Cunia for £62.5 million (although the fee will be paid in three installments). Of course, Manchester United can also increase their budget by selling players, and after Erikson, Lindelof and Evans leave the team after their contracts expire, they can also make some room on their payroll.

Based on various factors, if Manchester United wants to gain a successful transfer period this summer and ensure that they can get out of the 24/25 season next season, they need to make a difference in the following key aspects.

1. Signing a new forward

Two years after spending 72 million UK signing Hoylen, this seems not to be a reality, but the fact is that Manchester United needs a new center.

The Danes made 52 appearances in various competitions in the 24/25 season, scoring only 10 goals, and only 4 of them came from the Premier League. Hoylen didn't even bring a bright spot in Manchester United's organization of offense and goal creation like Ronker did - he only contributed 2 assists, neither of which was in the league.

After finalizing Cunha, Manchester United also received positive signals in pursuing Brentford attacker Mbemo, but the Red Devils still need a starting striker so that two potential new wingers can cooperate with it.

The Red Devils tried their best to convince Liam Drapp to transfer to Old Trafford, but Chelsea eventually won the battle for the Ice Town striker.

Last season, Hick scored 21 Bundesliga goals for Leverkusen, and this player seems to be an option in the same price range. However, his age at 29 does not seem to be in line with Manchester United's original intention of introducing young players.

Amorin's old subordinate Yorkress is also an option, but Manchester United's missed the European game may make them missed the competition to sign the Swedish scorer.

Anyway, Manchester United must prioritize finding a new No. 9 player, because Hoylen has completely failed to deliver on the potential he had previously shown in Atlanta.

2. Raise funds by selling wingers

At this time last year, Manchester United had only one Sancho at the winger position, but now they have four. Partly because of Amorin's style of play, partly because of Amorin's personality conflict with individual players - no matter what the reason is, now United should try to sell Sancho, Rashford, Anthony and Garnacho at the best price.

There are reports that Chelsea is unwilling to trigger the mandatory buyout clause of Sancho's loan agreement of £25 million. As for Rashford, despite having had a good time at Villa, it was still a bit difficult to find a team willing to pay him a transfer fee of £40 million.

Anthony revived his career at Real Betis and was called back by the Brazilian national team. Perhaps many teams will extend olive branches to him this summer. But the most eye-catching of these four "abandoned generals" is perhaps Garnacho, who was "swept out" by Amorin.

In any case, Matt Hargreaves is on the responsibility of taking on the best deals for these four "unpopular" players as much as possible - because Amorin's reconstruction plan relies on the club to increase transfer funds by selling players.

3. After signing at least one new goalkeeper

withdrew the new contract offer to De Gea in the summer of 2023, Manchester United signed Onana and Baindir. At that time, they thought the goalkeeper position had been resolved, but judging from the subsequent situation, this decision led by Tenhamhe and supported by Mertaff has proved to be a complete disaster.

Onana has made a series of costly mistakes since joining Inter Milan for £47 million. Former Manchester United midfielder Matic even believes that Onana is "one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United's history."

Amorin pulled him off the line after Onana's mistake against Lyon, but substitute Baindill also performed poorly, which clearly shows that United need two new goalkeepers this summer, not just a new No. 1 goalkeeper. However, it is unclear whether their budget is enough to support this.

The most likely scenario is that Manchester United will sell Baindir and sign a new goalkeeper to compete with Onana for No. 1 position in the future. Martin is an attractive choice, but his crazy moves in the final 24/25 season also promptly remind people that the Argentinian will make confusing mistakes. And for a player who will turn 33 in September, he will also ask for a huge salary, so Manchester United should turn to a rising young and capable goalkeeper, such as Brighton's Virgin or Lill's Chevalier.

4. Clarify the future of Menu

Amorin has decided to abandon Garnacho, and his companion, Mayu, who also won the Youth FA Cup championship, has a future at Manchester United still unclear.

Menu has rarely played after returning from injury in April - he has never started in any knockout match of the Europa League - which shows that Amorin is not optimistic about the England international and also confirms an outside view: Mayen was listed for sale in the winter window, and Amorin expressed his willingness to sell him at a suitable price.

Selling local youth training player Menu will be a very unpopular move among fans. Gary Neville once warned Manchester United not to do this. He said: "If we can't train Menu to be a good player and sell him, then I will start to question it. I know that it is now popular to sell our own youth training players to meet the PSR and financial fairness bill, but if Manchester United starts selling youth training players to raise funds to bring in other players, I feel that the sky is going to collapse."

However, if Amorin really thinks Menu is not suitable for his playing style, he should tell the team's top management as soon as possible. And looking for a suitable buyer for the 20-year-old - currently in the transfer market, Maynu is still very potential, and Manchester United should cash out quickly so that they have time to reinvest the money in the best way.

5. After persuading B Fei to stay in the team

, news that B Fei was interested in leaving the team spread. Although he rejected the invitation from Riyadh Crescent, he did not make it clear that he would not leave the Dream Theater. Before the transfer window is closed on September 1, there are still three months for other teams to provide B Fee with a way to "escape" from Old Trafford.

Of course, Amorin also made it clear that he hoped that B Fei could stay in the team. During his trip to Asia, he said: "B fee is very important to us, and it is also very important to the goals we hope to establish with this team." The reason for Amorin's remarks is also obvious: whether on and off the court, B fee is too critical and must not be allowed to leave. So, Manchester United must try to make sure that he is still wearing a red robe at the beginning of the new season or when the transfer window is closed on September 1.

6. Seeking more opportunities for Cheetos Obie

When Cheetos Obie entered the first team in February, Manchester United fans were very excited, considering the amazing goal record he set for the Red Devils and Arsenal in the youth training academy stage, how could they not be excited?

However, the Danish striker seems powerless every time he appears - considering that he turned 17 in November last year, it is completely understandable.

Obi is still an extremely exciting potential star, but he needs to adapt to the requirements of the adult team game and is therefore perfect for renting workouts. The Championship may be a suitable stage, and allowing Cheetos Obie to join a Championship team on loan will also allow Manchester United to pay more attention to his development so that he can gain the first-team experience he needs to succeed at Manchester United in the future.

7. Start renewal negotiations with Maguire

Maguire returned to Manchester United's roster in the 24/25 season and proved himself to be one of the few players to perform well in this disaster season. His steady play and goal threats have won him a one-year contract extension, but his contract expires in June 2026 and Manchester United should start negotiating with him on a longer-term contract. The terms of the

contract should be reduced and the contract is renewed for up to two years, but Maguire is definitely worth staying because he is very suitable for Amorin's three-back system and is an influential role model for the rest of the team.

8. Wave goodbye to Luke Xiao

Luke Xiao is currently the player who has played for the longest time in Manchester United, but he has "breaked his leg for the team" and is indeed no longer suitable for the development of this team.

Luke Shaw suffered a horrible fracture of his legs forever against Eindhoven in 2015, and his injury record continued to drag on him despite his return to track under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Tenhach for several excellent seasons.

Luke Shaw has only started 16 games in the Premier League in the past two seasons, and his performance since his comeback in April is also worrying. In an embarrassing post-match interview after the UEFA Cup final, he took full responsibility and said: "I think it's definitely me tonight, and I think we all have to ask ourselves: Are we worthy of being here?" To be fair, Luke Shaw's physical condition is no longer enough to support and no longer worthy of playing for Manchester United.

After 11 years at Old Trafford, it's time to let him go.
