Last season, Manchester United scored only 44 goals in the Premier League and finally ranked 15th, setting the worst record in 51 years. Therefore, the first priority of this summer’s transfer window is to introduce a striker. However, Manchester United's two signings are Cunha of Wolves and Mbemo of Brentford, both of whom are not typical No. 9 players.
Several of Manchester United's main strikers have turned to other teams: Drapp joins Chelsea, Yorke is close to Arsenal, and Ekitic will head to Liverpool. In view of this situation, Manchester United executives privately admitted that they are likely to have no new striker available in their Premier League opening match against Arsenal on August 17.
Manchester United remains interested in Paris Saint-Germain striker Muani. In addition, Manchester United may also conduct a swap deal involving winger Garnacho and Chelsea striker Jackson, both of which are valued at £40 million. Garnacho wants to stay in the Premier League, and the club he chooses is Chelsea, but Manchester United is unwilling to sell it to domestic competitors to avoid regrets in the future. With Drapp and Joao Pedro joining, Jackson's position at Stamford Bridge has declined.
Manchester United's transfer strategy this summer is to focus on players with Premier League experience, who do not need to adapt to the situation and can play an immediate role. This strategy was reflected in the successful signing of Cunya and Mbeumo, and Jackson was a viable option to solve both the forward problem and handle Garnacho.
Manchester United players trained in Chicago on Wednesday, and the day was very hot and the heat waves would continue on Thursday, with Manchester United players continuing their training at the Chicago Bears' home soldiers' stadium.
