Manchester United Now they will reportedly get a new striker to replace Victor Jakreis in a move that will save them millions.
Manchester United transfer news
Old Trafford needs major surgery to build a team capable of challenging in the top flight Premier League below Ruben Amorim. The former Sporting CP coach’s 3-4-2-1 formation doesn’t suit the current squad at Old Trafford, with Diogo Dalot playing full-back on one side and Nucer Noussair Mazraoui plays full-back on the other side.
In midfield, Christian Eriksen is beyond his best and out of contract this summer, so a major upgrade is needed, while Casemiro could also leave for free The Brazilian was clearly unable to keep up with the physical demands of Amorim’s system. Although Kobe Meanu and Manuel Ugarte have both performed well, they have only played together six times this season due to injuries and suspensions, and more options are needed in the midfield.

Meanwhile, at the top of the pitch, there are more worries. The Red Devils have scored just 23 goals in the Premier League so far despite spending nearly £100m on the club over the past two seasons, with Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hoylund Only five goals were scored in total, with Marcus Rashford left out. He left the club in January this year.
With so many changes needed across the pitch and squad, and with the club continuing to try to cut costs to keep the playing field financially fair, they will need to find some cheap buys to try and help Amorim in the upcoming transfer window. Now, they might get one.

Even though David is a free agent and in the prime of his career, there is no doubt about his ability alongside his Canadian teammates Jonathan Osario calls him a ‘superstar’. As is often the case with free agency, David will likely ask for a significant increase in his salary. £31,000 weekly savings and a signing fee, but those numbers pale in comparison to the potential costs of other options.
For example, Viktor Gyokeres is believed to have been available at ca. £60m this summer. While his previous relationship with Amorim suggests he will guarantee goals, he would also be a huge outlay for a club that has scored too many goals in recent seasons without seeing a return on investment.
However, David’s arrival would allow United to sign one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards, while also retaining funds for other potential additions to continue to flesh out a viable squad for Amorim.
