Manchester United is eyeing as many as seven players this summer as they plan a squad overhaul.
According to a reputed journalist, Graeme Bailey, Ruben Amorim is looking to freshen up his squad in the summer.
Bailey reports that Wolves’ attacker Matheus Cunha is the top target for Manchester United.
However, the Red Devils want the player to play as an attacking midfielder rather than as a number nine.
Bailey told Unitedinfocus, as quoted by Teamtalk, “Cunha’s people have held talks over the weekend, which they feel went well.
“United are more guarded over the talks, but confirmed they did take place and that he is a player they admire.
“United sources confirm that they believe Cunha would be deployed as an attacking midfielder in the Amorim system, behind a new striker.
“Wolves definitely won’t accept less than his clause, but will be looking at how big the initial figure is from United.”
Bailey said the other players wanted at Old Trafford include Francisco Trincao, who he formerly managed at Sporting CP.
The Red Devils are also understood to be keen on youngsters Jobe Bellingham, Chris Rigg, Rayan Cherki, and Tyler Dibling.
He added, “Francisco Trincao is a player they like, Amorim knows him, and the player is willing to make the move to Old Trafford. Regarding young options – as we know, United love Jobe Bellingham in terms of analytics, and Chris Rigg as a player – in an ideal world, they want one of the first choices plus one of these two. Rayan Cherki, they admire his talent hugely, likewise with Tyler Dibling – both are seen as options at this stage. But not priorities.”
As claimed by Bailey, Manchester United also admire Argentine wonderkid, Franco Mastantuono.
However, the reporter insisted that the River Plate youngster wants to move to Spain.
Manchester United is 14th in the Premier League table but has made it to the Europa League semi-finals.
