This season, Manchester United has been the laughing stock of England. Fourteenths of Premier League, the Red Devils have completely missed their season on all levels. While Erik Ten Hag was landed last November, Ruben Amorim had taken the torch to save the most successful club season in England. Although talented, the Portuguese coach came up against a site that is too difficult to settle in a single season. Thus, the residents of Old Trafford had a pathetic season in the Premier League and were eliminated from the two national cups.
Their salvation can nevertheless come from the Europa League. Despite disappointing championship performances, Bruno Fernandes' teammates shine on the continental scene. After having ousted the Real Sociedad brilliantly in the 8th finals of C3, the Mancunians achieved the unthinkable against OL in the quarterfinals. After a 2-2 draw in the first leg at the Groupama Stadium, the residents of Old Trafford made their supporters vibrate the following Thursday. Quickly leading 2-0, the winners of the 2017 edition were overthrown 4-2 in extra time before tearing up the qualification by scoring three goals in seven minutes (5-4).
Manchester United gets closer to an agreement for Matheus Cunha
And even if a possible C3 final against Tottenham would look like a battle of defective cadors in the Premier League and which could save their season with a qualification in the Champions League, Manchester United must have one step ahead while already starting to prepare the next cuvée. Consequently, the summer transfer window will be crucial to allow the most successful club in England to rectify the shot. In addition to a wave of departures which is highly recommended, there should also be a lot of grabuge on the arrival line. Faced with strengthening on all floors, the Manchester United workforce will thus know many changes this summer and the first rumors are already out in the north of England.
Thus, the Daily Mail said this Monday evening that Manchester United is already about to complete a first offensive recruit this summer: Matheus cunha. Seduced by his discussions with Ruben Amorim after the confrontation between Wolverhampton and United this Sunday (1-0 Mancunian defeat, editor's note), the 25-year-old Brazilian striker agreed to join Old Trafford next summer. It now remains for Manchester managers to remove the purchase option of 73 million euros to definitively recruit the Brazilian international (13 selections, 1 goal). As a reminder, the former Atlético de Madrid has 16 goals in 31 matches this season with disappointing wolves.
