Revival starts now? Berrada says Manchester United has made an ambitious summer transfer plan

10:04pm, 29 May 2025Football

Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada said that after being approved to finalize the deal for Wolves player Cunha, Manchester United will balance "ambition" with "prudential" demand in the transfer market. The Red Devils are looking to rebuild their team, just experiencing their worst top league season since relegation in 1973-74, and the loss to Tottenham in the Europa League final last week was even worse. This painful defeat means that Manchester United not only missed the championship trophy, but also lost the qualification to participate in the Champions League worth about £100 million. The club is racing against time to improve the team's strength.

Cunha appears to be the first player to join this summer. According to the British News Agency (PA), Wolves have agreed to Manchester United arrange a medical examination for the Brazil international and complete the transfer procedures, provided that Manchester United pays its 62.5 million pounds termination fee.

This may open a busy summer window for Old Trafford, whether it is signing or leaving the team. CEO Berlada is confident in Manchester United's plan.

"I can't talk about the specifics, but I can say we've been planning for months," he said in an interview with Manchester United TV. "We're ready for a variety of situations, so it's clear what to do now. We have a very clear plan for where the team needs to invest more, and (technical director) Jason Wilcox and his team have been discussing this with months. The key now is to implement the plan, be cautious and ambitious."

Amorin's team started the Asian tour in the sultry and humid Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, unexpectedly losing to the ASEAN All-Stars in the first match. The team will head to Hong Kong, China for another friendly match on Friday. Malaysia's defeat was exactly one week after their UEFA Europa League final in Spain, and only three days after they beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the final match of the Premier League at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils finally ranked 15th in the league. Coach Amorin apologized to fans in an emotional speech at the end of the season, admitting it was a bad season and promising that “good days will come.”

Manchester United CEO Berrada said: "Amorin said it very well on Sunday (season summary) and he was right: the past is past. It is important to learn lessons. Now we need to be united and united. I can only thank the fans again. The club owners also gave great support in this transition year. Now we just need to really work hard and do our best to get the club back to the top. I am very excited about the future prospects. As Amorin said, now we just need to go all out as a whole, a club, and I believe that as he said, good days will eventually come back."
