-Manchester United Step Up Attacking Overhaul Under Ruben AmorimManchester United’s proactive approach in the summer transfer market signals a clear intent to revamp their attacking options.
Following a disappointing 2024/25 campaign in front of goal, the club’s hierarchy is determined to equip new manager Rúben Amorim with the firepower needed to mount a serious title challenge.
The rebuild began with the high-profile £62.5 million signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves. Cunha arrives with proven Premier League experience, having scored 15 goals last season, and is expected to play a key role in Amorim’s new-look frontline.United are also pushing to bring in Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who enjoyed an impressive campaign with 20 goals and a strong creative output, including 17 big chances created—primarily from the right flank. His ability to operate both centrally and wide offers valuable tactical flexibility, making him a strong fit for Amorim’s dynamic attacking system.Last season, United’s frontline struggled, particularly in the central striker role.
Rasmus Højlund managed just four Premier League goals and failed to capitalize on key scoring opportunities, prompting the club to seek additional reinforcements.
According to Stretty News, United have now been offered the chance to sign Moise Kean, the Italian striker who had an underwhelming spell at Everton but has since revived his career in Serie A. Now at Fiorentina, Kean scored 19 league goals and 25 in all competitions last season, becoming one of the league’s top forwards.
He is reportedly valued at around £44 million, with initial discussions already taking place between his camp and United officials.
While no agreement has been finalized, the decision will ultimately rest with Amorim, who will assess whether Kean fits into his tactical setup alongside Cunha and Mbeumo.
If approved, Kean could be positioned as United’s main central striker, with Mbeumo occupying the right wing to maximize his creative impact.
Together, their combination of finishing ability and vision could significantly strengthen United’s attacking threat.
Kean’s fearless style—once praised by Thomas Tuchel during their time at PSG—could prove valuable should he return to the Premier League to lead United’s front line.
