Manchester United Transfer News
The summer transfer plans are already in full swing at Manchester United, and it would appear that the club is more concerned with letting players go rather than bringing new ones in. With a complete overhaul of the squad expected under new boss Ruben Amorim, this campaign has been pretty disappointing. As much as United fans would love to see some new signings, it appears the club is trying to make room for any potential additions by trimming down the current roster.
A Revolution in Full Swing Following on from a rollercoaster campaign, it was obvious changes needed to take hold at Manchester United. New boss Amorim said new pastures would have to be taken; yet instead of new additions coming in, much of the transfer business thus far has seen the intention to shift out some of the old guard-this month and indeed, with more likely this summer.
Is Marcus Rashford set to leave?
Of the most touted names said to be linked with a departure is Marcus Rashford. Clearly open to moving elsewhere for the new challenge his talent warrants, the gifted attacker has just struggled to find that right fit. As the months drag by and speculation heightens, there has finally been reported some sort of agent-to-club activity.The rumour mill is abuzz with the talks of a swap deal for Rashford, as Italian giants Juventus reportedly contemplate the possibility of a striker exchange that could see Rashford head to Serie A. Manchester United, however, has made it clear that they will not let the player go unless the terms are right. For now, the Englishman has not secured any new home yet, but his situation is one to keep a close eye on in the coming weeks.
Casemiro's Big-Money Exit
Another player who could well leave Old Trafford is the experienced midfielder Casemiro. It would appear that, after mixed time at the club, the Brazilian will be looking elsewhere. With speculation suggesting he has agreed a transfer, negotiations have no doubt been informed by the scathing recent comments from the likes of Gary Neville.
His exit would mean the end of Casemiro's short but eventful spell at Manchester United, and his possible exit would give the green light to a much-needed midfield revamp. The Brazilian will likely command a hefty fee, which could be a potential windfall for Manchester United to reinvest into the squad.
What's Next for Manchester United?
The expected exits of key players, like Rashford and Casemiro, make the period ahead crucial for Manchester United. While it is expected to carry on, the club's recruitment can only guess what players will come aboard to lift the squad up. Amorim will undoubtedly want fresh blood in a team that has found it tough to be on the same wavelength as other teams.
Meanwhile, as the transfer window drags on, fans of Manchester United are indeed crossing their fingers to get those types of transfers which the club desperately needs to reclaim a strong advantage in competitiveness. But for the moment, though, high-profile exits of key players are on stage as headlines, in front and at the spearhead, namely Rashford and Casemiro. Stay tuned for further updates on rebuild and reinforcements that would give a jolt to Red Devils in advance of the next campaign.
