Manchester United targets Bundesliga stars for summer overhaul

Ruben Amorim is likely to focus on the Bundesliga as he looks to improve Manchester United’s performance. He has shortlisted three players for a major summer signing campaign, which could cost around £134 million. Since taking over from Erik ten Hag in November, Amorim has faced challenges. Manchester United is currently in 13th place in the Premier League, and their hopes of improvement lean heavily on their current performance in the Europa League. The team has reached the quarter-finals and aims for success, which could secure a spot in the Champions League for next season. To support his rebuilding efforts, Amorim is planning to let at least six players leave Old Trafford this summer. This will help create funds for new signings. Reports indicate that United has a strong interest in RB Leipzig’s Dutch midfielder, Xavi Simons, who is valued at €80 million. In addition to a midfielder, United is looking for a new striker. They are reportedly monitoring RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike. Both players have had impressive seasons, each scoring over 15 goals. A deal for either player could also cost around €80 million. Amorim has also started talks for additional transfers. He plans to play Amad Diallo as a right wing-back next season. Meanwhile, United is tracking midfielder Jobe Bellingham and is preparing to make a move for winger Kenan Yildiz from Juventus. Overall, Amorim's strategy focuses on strengthening the team with top talent from the Bundesliga while making necessary changes to the current squad.
