Man Utd stepping up transfer plans as horror form continues
da dobrowin： The Red Devils have all eyes on the Europa League, as that competition is all that is left for United in terms of bringing some sort of success to this dismal campaign. Given how bad the season has gone for United, this summer is huge in terms of moving forward under Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese knows how big of a job this is, and to make it slightly easier, he is going to want his own types of players at the club.

It already appears that INEOS are trying to get ahead of the game and make some expensive purchases. According to a report from Africa Foot, per Sports Witness, United have already begun working on a deal to sign Jonas Adjetey from Swiss side FC Basel. The centre-back is only 21 years old, and the Premier League side believe he is “one of Europe’s most promising defenders”.
It doesn’t stop there for United, as INEOS are now willing to make a £70 million offer to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa. The Englishman has been outstanding for the Midlands side this season, and his performances have now made him a ‘top target’ for United, and they are looking to do everything they can to secure an agreement.
Man Utd and INEOS now looking to hijack Newcastle move for Luis Henrique
The arrivals at Old Trafford are not expected to stop there, as according to TBR Football, Man United are now keeping an eye on Marseille’s Luis Henrique ahead of making a move in the summer transfer window.
The report states that United are already doing work on a potential deal for the Brazilian but face stiff competition, as Newcastle United have opened talks to sign Henrique. Nottingham Forest are also very keen on a potential transfer, and Serie A champions Inter Milan have been public about their interest in the attacker.
Despite the heavy interest, United and INEOS have still opted to join the race, as they are keen to bolster their options for Amorim ahead of next season. The 23-year-old, who can play on either the left or right-hand side of the attack, is seen as a player who could possibly play in the right wing-back spot at United under Amorim, despite the Magpies wanting him as a winger, where he has played this term.

Henrique is under contract in France until the summer of 2028, and it’s been reported that it could cost as much as £25 million to get him out of France, as Marseille may need to sell the player to balance their books. His potential arrival would bring a goal threat to United’s right-hand side, as he’s netted seven goals in Ligue 1 this season.
