After their lowly league finish and Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, the patience of fans appears to be at an all-time low.<\/p>\n<p>So far this summer, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, Enzo Kana-Biyik and Marcus Rashford have all departed, either permanently or on loan. United fans will have been desperate for some good news this summer, and the club have so far signed <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/06\/05\/manchester-united-bryan-mbeumo-bid-rejected\/\" target=\"_self\">Matheus Cunha<\/a>, Bryan Mbeumo, Harley Emsden-James and Diego Leon. Amorim will be hoping Cunha and Mbeumo improve the team&#8217;s attacking threat.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Amorim has addressed the strength of the squad: \u201cWe need to be really careful when we sign players. If we start the season with this squad, I am happy\u201d. It&#8217;s a staggering statement and one that won&#8217;t please the Old Trafford faithful.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Turmoil<\/h3>\n<p>The club has been in turmoil for several years, and after years of poor recruitment, it appears they are now at their lowest ebb. Amorim faces a tough challenge, and the club must back him. He&#8217;s enjoyed a strong spell in Portugal with CP Sporting, but navigating United through this period will be the ultimate test for the manager and the club.<\/p>\n<p>With rival clubs strengthening, it&#8217;s becoming increasingly difficult for United to sell their project and attract top-level players. Realistically, can the club expect more than a top-half finish?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United has not been a happy club in recent years, with declining performances on the pitch and several years of ownership uncertainty off it.
