Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola urged Premier League clubs to rise and hijack four of Man United’s transfer targets who’ll make them unstoppable next season if signed.
Rio Ferdinand has outlined four players he believes could significantly improve Manchester United’s squad and help turn their fortunes around under manager Ruben Amorim. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand began by highlighting the midfield, stating his desire to see Manuel Ugarte — reportedly close to joining from PSG — paired with a technically gifted partner. His choice for that role is Adam Wharton, a promising young midfielder from Crystal Palace, who is also attracting interest from Real Madrid.
Ferdinand then turned his attention to United’s attacking woes, pointing out that Rasmus Hojlund hasn’t consistently delivered. To solve this, he named Victor Osimhen as the ideal striker to lead the line at Old Trafford. According to Ferdinand, United should do everything possible to bring the Nigerian forward in from Napoli this summer. Reports suggest Napoli could be open to letting Osimhen leave, especially with Juventus and other Premier League clubs circling.
Adding more firepower to the mix, Ferdinand also suggested Matheus Cunha as another attacking option. The Wolves forward has made it clear he’s open to a move, and Ferdinand believes his versatility and knack for goals would be a great asset for United. The club is reportedly already in talks with Cunha’s representatives, hoping to secure a deal soon.
Lastly, Ferdinand addressed the defence by recommending Jeremie Frimpong for the right wing-back position. Known for his attacking instincts and pace, Frimpong is already on United’s radar, and discussions with his camp are reportedly underway. Ferdinand believes the Bayer Leverkusen man could thrive in Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, offering both defensive cover and offensive support down the flank.
Ferdinand’s picks appear to align closely with Manchester United’s current transfer ambitions. If the club acts decisively, the additions of Wharton, Osimhen, Cunha, and Frimpong could mark a significant step forward in rebuilding a competitive side capable of challenging for major honours once again.
