Man utd rivals swoop for ruben amorim target as matheus cunha transfer close

MANCHESTER UNITED ARE LOOKING TO GET A DEAL OVER THE LINE FOR WOLVES FORWARD MATHEUS CUNHA AS MARCUS RASHFORD TRIES TO SECURE A PERMANENT MOVE AWAY FROM OLD TRAFFORD 10:12, 29 May

2025Updated 10:13, 29 May 2025 Manchester United are gearing up for a pivotal summer transfer window as they chase Wolves striker Matheus Cunha. Ruben Amorim's flops are on a

post-season tour and suffered a humiliating 1-0 defeat to ASEAN All-Stars in Malaysia on Wednesday. But away from the pitch there is more encouraging news, as the Red Devils have triggered

the £62.5million release clause in the 26-year-old forward's contract, paving the way for the Brazilian to undergo a medical. The focus now shifts to who will be shown the door at Old

Trafford, as United urgently need to generate funds to bring in fresh talent. Marcus Rashford seems set for an exit, having spent the latter half of the season on loan at Aston Villa. Villa

do hold a £40m buy-out option, and United are eager to offload him. However, Rashford himself has his sights set on Barcelona, who have now initiated discussions with his agents. In other

news, it looks like United are about to lose out on another top target to Premier League competitors Newcastle. Here's all the latest Manchester United transfer updates. NEWCASTLE

POUNCE FOR MBEUMO Newcastle have made a move for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, who is also on Manchester United's radar, reports the Mirror. The Magpies are keen to act swiftly this

summer, ahead of sporting director Paul Mitchell. They've got their eyes on Mbeumo, with The Telegraph reporting the Toon are preparing a bid for the Cameroon international. It's

anticipated that an offer between £50m and £60m could persuade the Bees to part ways. United had also shown interest in the 25-year-old, but they're currently more focused on sealing

deals for Cunha and Ipswich striker Liam Delap. Newcastle are reportedly hoping to swoop in quickly and nab Mbeumo before United get a chance to make their move. UNITED PLOT PSG RAID

Manchester United are eyeing up Paris Saint-Germain's Lee Kang-in. The South Korean international seems set to leave Parc des Princes this summer, with his future in the French capital

hanging in the balance. Contract negotiations have hit a snag, with PSG ready to greenlight an exit this summer. CaughtOffside reports that United have made a play for the 24-year-old after

Ruben Amorim pinpointed him as a prime target. The Red Devils do face stiff competition from Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Nottingham

Forest, who have all either reached out or expressed interest. RASHFORD IN BARCA TALKS Marcus Rashford's team have been in discussions with Barcelona's sporting director Deco,

aiming to secure a switch to the La Liga heavyweights. It's doubtful that the English forward will be welcomed back into the fold under United gaffer Amorim following their bitter

fallout. Rashford is poised to depart United this summer, with Barca being his top choice. Sport reports that Rashford's agent sat down with Deco on Wednesday morning to thrash out a

potential deal. Article continues below Barca see Rashford as a backup plan to Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and are looking to arrange a loan deal, with an option to buy. Whilst United are

keen to offload, Barca are looking to capitalise on their eagerness to part ways with the forward. The La Liga club have urged Rashford to hold his horses, with Wednesday's meeting set

up to 'exchange views' and affirm both sides' commitment to sealing the deal.
