Manchester United have been given a boost with Bruno Fernandes turning down a move to Al-Hilal, but Ruben Amorim still needs midfield additions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United have agreed to sign Matheus Cunha<\/a>, with the Wolverhampton Wanderers forward set to complete his move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Cunha is a fine start to a crucial summer window and Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo now wants to join United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Adding Mbeumo alongside Cunha would provide a huge boost to United\u2019s attacking options, but fans will also want midfielders to arrive.<\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes has snubbed Al-Hilal<\/a>, with the United skipper now set to stay after turning down huge money on offer in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

United must still add midfield talent around Bruno \u2013 especially with Al-Hilal now moving for Atalanta\u2019s Ederson<\/a>, who had been on the Old Trafford radar.<\/p>\n

Christian Eriksen is leaving United this summer and questions linger over Casemiro\u2019s future at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Manuel Ugarte didn\u2019t convince everybody in his first United season, while Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s role under Amorim is still unclear.<\/p>\n

Ederson would have made sense for United, but with big money being spent on attackers, Amorim may take a different approach.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports<\/a> report that United want to sign a midfielder on loan this summer, rather than paying up for one permanently.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often that we see United strike loan deals, but that may be the approach in an attempt to bolster Amorim\u2019s engine room.<\/p>\n

Odion Ighalo, Wout Weghorst, Sergio Reguilon, Sofyan Amrabat and Marcel Sabitzer spring to mind, though none of those moves were made permanent.<\/p>\n

United may look back to the loan market again this summer, though finding somebody with the quality to improve Amorim\u2019s squad won\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n

Manchester United loan signing options<\/strong><\/p>\n

United may need to offer loans with options or even obligations to buy in 2026.<\/p>\n

One player who we could imagine signing such a deal is Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Luiz excelled for Aston Villa in the Premier League but has struggled to make an impact since joining Juve last summer.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest United wanted to sign Luiz in January<\/a>, but Juventus just wouldn\u2019t let him leave.<\/p>\n

Luiz would allegedly fancy joining United<\/a> and a loan with an option to buy could tempt Juventus into a deal.<\/p>\n

Luiz\u2019s proven record in the Premier League is very appealing, just like Cunha and Mbeumo, and he fits the mould of a number eight who can contribute at both ends of the pitch.<\/p>\n

Amadou Haidara has been on United\u2019s radar in the past and Florian Plettenberg<\/a> claims he will leave RB Leipzig this summer.<\/p>\n

One issue is that Haidara\u2019s contract expires in 2026, meaning RB Leipzig may be reluctant to loan him out before he becomes a free agent.<\/p>\n

Loan signings tend to happen later in the window and United may need to hunt far and wide for a loan signing who can make a real impact under Amorim.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United have been given a boost with Bruno Fernandes turning down a move to Al-Hilal, but Ruben…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,8905,393,4884,2465,99,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-155666","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-douglas-luiz","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-ruben-amorim","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114621280697280850","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
