Fernandez speaks! Manchester United s top five potential new players: 70 million strikers lead, Paris goalkeeper is on the list

Bruno Fernandez has asked Manchester United to continue to advance the transfer this summer, after the team signed Mattus Cunha and Brian Mbemo for Ruben Amorin's forward. After the last game of Manchester United's trip to the United States, captain Bruno Fernandez called on the team to continue to introduce new players. The Red Devils captain first criticized the team for being "lazy" and then begged the club to add a new face.

This summer, Manchester United has added Mattus Cunha and Brian Mbemo to Ruben Amorin's forward, and young defender Diego Leon has also joined the Portuguese coach's lineup. However, if the 13-time champion who ranked 15th in the Premier League last season wants to be competitive in the 2025/26 season, it still needs to significantly improve its strength.

Fernandez believes that the team has begun to improve through preparations, but he hopes that the first team's position competition will be more intense. The 30-year-old midfielder hopes to bring in another 1-2 players to help Manchester United move forward.

"(Travel in the United States) is generally positive, and it's good to have a tacit understanding with teammates," Fernandez said. "But today we're a little lazy and we have to change that."

"I don't want to blame anyone, but I feel that the club has done its best in the financial situation they say. I don't know the specific situation and are not involved. But it's clear that we need to add more competition to the existing players."

"We need more players with strength, push everyone to work harder and pay more to get into the starting lineup. I think the club and the coach are working in this direction and hope to sign another 1-2 players to achieve this."

The RB Leipzig striker is the focus of Manchester United and Newcastle, with a value of over £70 million. Cesco, who scored 13 goals last season, has not yet shown his tendency, but it is reported that Manchester United have the advantage - they communicate with the players first and then offer the Bundesliga club.

Cesco and Manchester United have been rumored for a long time, and introducing a new striker is still the team's important agenda - Manchester United is willing to let Rasmus Hoylund go for £30 million.

Aston Villa's asking price may temporarily put Manchester United on hold on their pursuit of Oli Watkins, but the striker did have attracted their interest. The Midlands club priced at 29-year-old Watkins and was reluctant to sell it.

Watkins is in line with Manchester United's transfer strategy this summer: introducing players who have proven themselves in the Premier League. But Manchester United may need to meet Villa's asking price more urgently before they can close the deal.

Manchester United has rumors of introducing a new goalkeeper this summer, and Gianluigi Donaluma may be one of the most important candidates. The Paris Saint-Germain star's contract expires next year and there are little signs of renewal.

There are reports that the former AC Milan goalkeeper is willing to transfer, but the Manchester Evening News pointed out that Manchester United has not yet set a budget for the new main goalkeeper. The Italian international may become a free agent in less than 12 months. The more economical option might be Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor. Last month, it was reported that Manchester United was preparing to activate his termination terms.

Manchester United has been rumored to have had many goalkeepers, including Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez, Porto's Diogo Costa and Blue Cross's Kevin Mill. Brazilian media said that Manchester United is preparing to introduce Victor and informed the South American club that it is willing to pay a termination fee of 44.5 million reais (about £6 million). However, there has been no substantial progress yet.

Earlier this summer, it was reported that if Manchester United were interested, Christopher Nkunku would be worth £35 million. The Frenchman performed poorly at Chelsea due to injuries.

Manchester United wants to sell Alejandro Garnacho and Chelsea is the potential next player, so Nkunku may be the top spot in the deal. But the Red Devils prefer full transfer fees to comply with profitable and sustainable development rules.
