Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Paul Pogba will be returning to action this week after selecting a new club to revive his career.

Manchester United are wasting no time as they begin early preparations for what could be a defining summer transfer window. Despite the ongoing 2024/25 season still having several matches to go, the club is already shifting focus toward rebuilding under manager Ruben Amorim, particularly after a campaign that may go down as their worst ever in Premier League history. With only six games left to play and a highest possible finish of eighth — which would tie their lowest-ever league standing — the urgency for transformation is clear.

While their Europa League journey has offered some hope, with a semi-final showdown against Athletic Bilbao on the horizon and a potential final against either Tottenham or Bodo/Glimt, the broader outlook remains centered on long-term improvements rather than short-term silverware.

The upcoming transfer window is expected to be intense at Old Trafford. Major reinforcements are being targeted across all areas of the pitch, including a new defender, midfielder, and forward. Amorim and the club’s recruitment team are prioritizing young, high-ceiling talent as part of a broader shift in strategy. This approach was already evident in January with the additions of 18-year-old Ayden Heaven and 20-year-old Patrick Dorgu, both of whom are beginning to ease into first-team involvement.

The club could also pull off a significant move by signing another young talent from Le Havre — a development that would mark the first such transfer since Paul Pogba made the switch in 2009. That earlier deal, orchestrated by Sir Alex Ferguson, proved to be a masterstroke and serves as inspiration for the current recruitment drive.

Now operating under a revamped structure with Dan Ashworth at the helm of football operations, United are taking a more calculated, future-focused approach to transfers. This marks a shift away from the inconsistent and reactive strategies of recent years, signaling that the Red Devils are determined to rebuild smarter and stronger.
