Manchester United is gearing up for the upcoming season with promising transfer activities. The club has secured Matheus Cunha's signature from Wolves and is actively pursuing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. Additionally, Bruno Fernandes has opted to remain at Old Trafford, rejecting a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
Former player Gary Neville has expressed optimism about Cunha and Mbeumo's potential impact on the team, especially in addressing United's goal-scoring struggles from the previous season. The club faced challenges in converting shots into goals and maintaining shot accuracy, resulting in a disappointing 15th-place finish in the Premier League.
Mbeumo emerged as a standout performer in terms of goal-scoring efficiency, outperforming his Expected Goals (xG) tally by seven goals. Cunha also showcased clinical finishing abilities, ranking third in the same category. Their proficiency in front of goal could be the missing piece in United's attacking puzzle.
Under Ruben Amorim's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, Cunha's role as a 'left No 10' aligns well with the system he excelled in at Wolves. However, accommodating both Cunha and Fernandes in similar positions may pose a tactical challenge. Fernandes, a key figure in Amorim's lineup, has been pivotal in the 'left 10' role, making his positioning alongside Cunha a point of interest.
As Manchester United looks to revamp its squad for the upcoming season, the potential additions of Mbeumo, Cunha, and Fernandes could inject creativity and goal-scoring prowess into the team. Fans eagerly anticipate how these new signings could elevate the club's performance under Amorim's guidance.
