Worried Amorim sends transfer warning to INEOS, makes crucial demand ahead of pre-season tour – report

Ruben Amorim is growing frustrated with Manchester United’s lack of transfer activity this summer and has urged the club to move quickly to secure signings ahead of their US tour.

The Portuguese coach has identified key reinforcements but so far has only welcomed Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £62.5million deal.

The Mirror claims that United’s sluggish progress in the market is a concern for Amorim, who views the upcoming three-match tour in the United States as crucial for bedding in new arrivals.

The Red Devils will face West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton in the Premier League Summer Series in four weeks’ time.

Amorim wants his squad to be near-complete by then to facilitate tactical integration and team cohesion.

However, United’s recruitment plans have been complicated by difficulties offloading unwanted players, many of whom are on high wages and endured poor seasons in 2024.

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are three players who could be moved on to generate money. The trio were sent out on loan last season, with the club hoping to maintain their transfer value.

These are reportedly not in Amorim’s future plans, and he wants them sold as soon as possible so that the club can reinvest the money in new signings.

United’s dismal 2024 campaign saw them finish 15th in the Premier League and lose the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur, meaning there will be no European football at Old Trafford next term.

This not only dents the club’s prestige but has dealt a substantial blow to the transfer budget.

As a result, the club must sell before they can buy, making the process more time-consuming and challenging.

Without suitable offers for those players deemed surplus to requirements, progress will remain slow.

United’s hierarchy are under growing pressure to back their new manager decisively after a chaotic summer and a season to forget.
