Manchester United must land attacking signings this summer with Ruben Amorim surely eyeing additions in three key areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim has brought his 3-4-2-1 system<\/a> to Manchester United<\/a>, and there have been mixed results so far.<\/p>\n

United have moved away from out-and-out wingers, with Amorim essentially playing two number 10\u2019s behind the striker.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Garnacho has been forced to adjust his game to fit into the side, whilst Joshua Zirkzee is now playing as a number 10.<\/p>\n

Amad is another factor in those roles, but Amorim may well be looking for United to invest in a quality attacking midfield player this summer.<\/p>\n

Manchester United given hope over Matheus Cunha<\/strong><\/p>\n

United will look far and wide for that kind of player, but the perfect option may actually be playing at Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha<\/a> continues to shine for Wolves, racking up 13 goals and four assists in just 26 Premier League games.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian\u2019s technical ability has been shining through in an attacking midfield role, sparking major interest in the process.<\/p>\n

United were keen on Cunha<\/a> heading into January, but he signed a new contract at Molineux instead of moving on.<\/p>\n

Hailed as \u2018phenomenal\u2019 by former Wolves defender Max Kilman in the\u00a0Shropshire Star<\/a>, Cunha can leave Wolves for \u00a362million<\/a> thanks to a release clause in that contract.<\/p>\n

United are unlikely to be alone in the race for Cunha, and the Wolves star has given interested clubs hope over a summer deal.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Guardian<\/a>, Cunha has admitted he wants to take \u2018the next step\u2019 in his career away from Wolves.<\/p>\n

Cunha did not feel comfortable with the idea of leaving Wolves in January, given their battle against relegation, but now feels that he needs to leave With Wolves almost safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of offers but I wouldn\u2019t feel well if I had done it,\u201d said Cunha. \u201cSome things you can\u2019t control but I couldn\u2019t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, we\u2019re close to achieving our goal [of staying up]. But I\u2019ve made it clear that I need to take the next step. I want to fight for titles, for big things. I have potential,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

United confidence in Cunha move will be tested<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports suggest that United still want Cunha<\/a> this summer and believe that he would relish a move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

That confidence will be tested, though, as Cunha clearly states he wants to win titles and \u2018big things\u2019 in the game.<\/p>\n

United are not in a position to challenge for the Premier League title right now, and hopes of a trophy this season rest on the Europa League.<\/p>\n

United have historically challenged for major honours, but returning to that level will take time and patience.<\/p>\n

Cunha would need to strongly believe in Amorim\u2019s project and United\u2019s chances of returning to the Premier League in the coming years.<\/p>\n

That would be a real leap of faith for Cunha, though the chance to play a starring role in a potential United revival could appeal.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s confidence in Cunha\u2019s desire to join will be rivalled by many other clubs making a move, but we would love to see him as one of the two attacking players behind United\u2019s striker under Amorim.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United must land attacking signings this summer with Ruben Amorim surely eyeing additions in three key areas.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[235,99,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-207","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-matheus-cunha","9":"tag-ruben-amorim","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207","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=207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
