Manchester United’s plans for the summer transfer window are expected to focus heavily on bringing fresh attacking options to Old Trafford.
While Alejandro Garnacho has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season, it’s clear that manager Ruben Amorim wants to add balance, work rate, and proven quality to his wide options.

The Red Devils have long been aware of the need for a winger who can offer consistency and versatility on the flanks.
A profile Amorim has pushed to address in recruitment talks.
One name who has been firmly on United’s radar for some time is now at the centre of a transfer tussle across the Premier League.
That player is Antoine Semenyo, who has been one of Andoni Iraola’s best players this season.
Bournemouth demanding £70m fee for Antoine Semenyo
According to GiveMeSport, Bournemouth are holding firm on their valuation of £70million for the 24-year-old forward.
United are prepared to face strong competition from Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool standout as the biggest competitors, considering Federico Chiesa’s expected return to Italy.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are not expected to be preparing a major push.
The Blues have Estevao and Geovany Quenda ready to come in.
Quenda who of course, was linked to join United in the summer.
Bournemouth’s position is strengthened by the fact the player still has four years remaining on his contract.
A contract which has no release clause, leaving the Cherries under no pressure to sell unless their asking price is met.

Amorim is known to be a big admirer of Semenyo.
However, United’s limited finances will certainly be a stumbling block.
Failure to achieve Champions League qualification will be a huge barrier for United in their pursuit.
With Liverpool and Tottenham also circling, the race is set to heat up in the weeks ahead.
United’s hierarchy know the consequences that will follow, should Amorim not be backed.
