BREAKING: “I Actually Wanted This Signing to Happen in January” – Ruben Amorim Reveals How Man Utd Could Line Up Next Season with Three Huge Signings Including Matheus Cunha.
In a stunning revelation that has sent waves through the Manchester United fanbase, newly appointed head coach Ruben Amorim has spoken candidly about his vision for the Red Devils and the major signings he hopes to secure this summer.
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Amorim admitted, “I actually wanted this signing to happen in January, but we didn’t have the money yet. This is how I want this team to look like if we want to win the league.” The Portuguese tactician was referring to Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha – a dynamic, versatile attacker currently with Wolverhampton Wanderers – who is reportedly one of his top targets for the upcoming transfer window.
Cunha, 25, has impressed in the Premier League with his energy, flair, and ability to play across the frontline. Amorim sees him as the perfect complement to Rasmus Højlund, providing flexibility and a different kind of threat in attack.
But Cunha isn’t the only name on Amorim’s radar. According to sources close to Old Trafford, Amorim has submitted a shortlist to the club’s recruitment team featuring three marquee signings. Alongside Cunha, the other two are Sporting CP midfield general Morten Hjulmand and Benfica’s highly rated centre-back António Silva. Both players are said to fit Amorim’s high-pressing, possession-heavy style perfectly.
If the club can deliver these signings, Amorim believes he will finally have a squad capable of challenging Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League title. His proposed starting XI could look like this:
Projected XI:
Onana; Dalot, Silva, Martínez, Shaw; Hjulmand, Mainoo; Cunha, Fernandes, Garnacho; Højlund.
Amorim’s statement signals a new era of ambition and strategic planning at Manchester United. The board is reportedly backing the 39-year-old with a significant summer budget, but fans will be hoping words turn into action as the club looks to reclaim domestic glory.
This summer, the rebuild is real — and Amorim’s United could look very different come August.
