Manchester United s forward line reshuffle: Hoylen may be abandoned, new aid Cunnia leads the reshaping of the Red Devils attack group

According to the Italian media "Milan Sports", Manchester United has made major decisions on forward signings and cleaning. Faced with the upcoming new season, the Red Devils plan to make drastic reforms to the attack line: keep Zilkze and actively seek to sell forward Rasmus Hoylen. Although both of the young talents did not meet expectations in the just-concluded season, Manchester United executives seem to have a clear plan B.

Manchester United introduced Hoylen from Atlanta with one of the highest team history £72 million. At that time, he was highly expected and regarded as the core of the future of the Red Devils' forward. However, the Danish international scored only 10 goals in the 2024/25 season, which is far lower than the outside world's expectations for his high value.

In contrast, Zilkze, who also transferred from Bologna to Manchester United for £36.5 million in the summer window in 2024, showed stronger adaptability in Amorin's tactical system despite only 7 goals. Especially when he was arranged to the front midfielder, the Dutch striker performed well. He not only effectively connected the midfield and the front line, but also became a highlight of the team's offensive end with his outstanding dribbling and support skills.

Hoilen was unexpectedly listed, and Inter Milan intends to take over

The report pointed out that Inter Milan has taken the lead in contacting Manchester United and expressed his intention to introduce Hoiren. The Blue and Black Army hopes to complete the transaction by strengthening the buyout on loan. Manchester United, on the other hand, hopes to recover at least €45 million (about £38 million) in transfer fees, although this means the club will suffer huge losses in this high-priced signing.

However, in the face of the sudden sale rumors, Hoylen himself seemed quite surprised. The 22-year-old striker admitted in an interview: "My contract with Manchester United is signed in 2030, and I plan to continue playing for this team. I don't pay much attention to outside rumors, and now I just want to prepare for the holiday and the new season."

Manchester United signed Cunha heavily, and the forward signing is still continuing

While Hoylen's future is still unclear, Manchester United has won the first goal in the transfer market - successfully signing Wolves forward Mattus Cunha with a transfer fee of £62.5 million. Although Cunha is not a center in the traditional sense, his outstanding wing movement, flexible position adaptability and outstanding performance in the Premier League last season are all regarded as important reasons why he will become a key link in Manchester United's new offensive system.

In addition, coach Ruben Amorin is still actively seeking to further strengthen the front line, targeting a series of top scorers including Victor Osmeen, Benjamin Cesco and Santiago Jimenez. It can be seen that abandoning Hoylen's decision is not only a competitive consideration, but also a strategic adjustment made by the club for financial balance and lineup upgrades, aiming to create a more dynamic and competitive front line for the Red Devils.
