'I am happy' - Ruben Amorim ready to start new season at Man Utd but admits Red Devils will 'suffer' despite Bryan Mbeumo & Matheus Cunha additions

Following the capture of Wolves' Matheus Cunha and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, United head coach Amorim was asked about what he thought of the players at his disposal. The ex-Sporting CP boss stressed the Red Devils need to be "careful" in the transfer market, that he is content with his current options, and that they will bond through the suffering.

He told reporters: "We need to be really careful when we sign players. If we start the season with this squad, I am happy. We are going to suffer but that feeling of bonding is really important. The spirit is positive."

Amorim and United are under huge pressure to perform next season after an abject 2024/25 campaign. The Red Devils failed to win a trophy, losing meekly to Tottenham in the Europa League final, and finished 15th in the Premier League. It could be argued they need a lot of quality additions but Amorim appears to be taking a glass half-full approach.

United are about to play in the Premier League Summer Series in the United States over the next week or so. How they fare against West Ham, Everton, and Bournemouth may be a good indicator of how well they will perform next season.
