Manchester United have improved the squad in key attacking positions so far this summer thanks to the acquisitions of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
There were a myriad of problems last season, but the main one was scoring goals. United managed just 44 across 38 Premier League games, the fewest ever in the post-1992 era and the fewest in any league season since 1973–74, a campaign which infamously ended in relegation.
Between them last term, for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford respectively, Cunha and Mbeumo managed 49 goals and assists in the league.
It is expected the pair will line up alongside each other as the split No. 10s in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system, potentially pushing Bruno Fernandes into a deeper No. 8 role in central midfield. But United still need more and scoring goals is a bigger priority than strengthening defensively.
A No. 9, therefore, would be the ideal next signing. The dream would be Alexander Isak.
