Rumours are starting to swirl ahead of the summer transfer window, with Manchester United set to be very active.
Ruben Amorim will expect transfer chiefs to open the purse strings considerably to bolster his squad in several positions, as he looks to improve on a lacklustre first six months in charge.
One position of interest is the striker, with additional goals needed to see Manchester United rise up the league table.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to deliver this season, leading to fresh links to Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres and Hugo Ekitike.
A winger could also be on the target list, as well as a reliable centre-half and a younger player to aid United’s aging midfield.
Despite Amorim’s desire for fresh faces at Old Trafford, it is likely that departures may also be required.
One departure could be that of Alejandro Garnacho, who attracted interest from Chelsea in January.
And according to transfer guru David Ornstein, that interest has not yet gone away, and the Argentinian is still among Chelsea’s options this summer.
The London club were heavily linked in January, but a move did not materialise.
And it is unclear whether the Red Devils would be willing to let their winger go, especially given the youngster’s rise through the Manchester United academy.
First breaking through in 2022, Garnacho has made 136 appearances in the last three years, scoring 21 goals in that time.
He has drawn criticism at times this season, but has registered 10 goals and nine assists amid a nightmare season for United.
Significantly, Garnacho would be likely to fetch a considerable fee if he is to leave Old Trafford this summer, but Amorim must weigh up whether letting the speedster go would be worth it.
