Looks like cunha could be first in the door this summer. Fabrizio Romano reporting that a deal is close to being finalised. Really like him as a player and think he will bring us something different in 1 of those key 10 positions.

Great start to the summer window if this is true. Moving quickly on a key player.
Will be interesting to see if we try and get another 1/ 2 during this first phase of the window then try and move some players on.

A prem proven signing that actually makes sense formation wise and is on reasonable terms. Can not complain.

If they’re moving this fast on transfers in it shows promise for moving players on.
If we’re in the mess I keep reading and have to sell to buy then surely they’ve got to have outgoings pretty much confirmed?

He'd be a great signing, EPL proven and a real goalscorer.

A good signing, for sure, but just one many we need. A proven goalscorer, a new keeper, and a CDM are arguably much more important.
As things stand, we already have seven or eight players on the books who are best suited to one of those two CAM positions (Bruno, Mount, Maino, Garnacho, Zirkzee, Amad, Anthony, Rashford, and Sancho), even if one or two of those look likely to move on in the summer. Comparatively, we are seriously short-staffed up top (Højlund and Chido) and in the CDM position (Casemiro and Ugarte), and both of our keepers are terrible.

I really like him. I just a wee bit concerned as he flopped at big clubs in the past.

Tbh I don’t think we can judge any player until they are in a United shirt…good or bad! We’ve had some really good players come in who’ve done well b4 us, looked poor for us then excelled again after they left. Time will tell!

Redseven take at least 3 out of that list for next season. likely 4. Then we see logic for bringing Cunha in.

Brad. Even if we sell three or four, and let Erickson go, we still have six first team players who are best suited to one of those two CAM spots (Bruno, Zirkzee, Mount, Garnacho, Maino, and Amad) .
Compare that to CDM, where our only two first team options are Ugarte and Casemiro, and I think it’s fair to say that CDM is much more or a priority than CAM. Likewise, our only out and out strikers are Chido (who has never scored a first team goal) and Hojlund (who is nowhere near good enough to lead the line at an EPL club), and blowing £60m+ on Cunha seems like a strange decision, especially if doing so means we have to settle for a Delap rather than a Sesko, an Osimhen, or a Gyokores.
I do think Cunha would be a good signing, but considering the many gaps in our squad, a new CAM should be fairly low down the shopping list; not this season’s marquee signing.

Really redseven how have the ones we have done over last few years?
21 May 2025 01:06:17
Garnacho, Mainoo or Zirkee are not nowhere near good enough to play that position plus none of them can score many at all, Mount can, but can’t be relied on because injury record, Amad possibly, Bruno certainly and RA wants to play with 2 number 10s who can all score goals and a decent striker.
I would say the goals is 100% the first thing to sort in this team, been so for 2-3seasons next is GK and Decent CB.
