Manchester United’s Ruthless Attack Overhaul Continues with Moise Kean Now in the Frame
Manchester United’s summer transfer activity leaves no doubt that their main mission is to ramp up their attacking firepower. With the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5 million after a strong 15-goal season, the Red Devils have already made a big statement. But the spending spree is far from over.
The next potential arrival could be Bryan Mbeumo. The Brentford forward had a standout campaign last season, racking up 20 goals and becoming a constant threat in front of goal. United are moving aggressively to secure his services as part of their offensive rebuild under manager Ruben Amorim.
However, the club isn’t stopping there. Another name now in the mix is Moise Kean, who has been offered to United during talks with his agents. Stretty News reports that the Italian striker, formerly of Everton and currently at Fiorentina, could be snapped up for around £44 million. The final decision rests with Amorim, who is carefully shaping his ideal attacking unit.
Kean’s time at Everton was underwhelming, with just four goals in 39 appearances. But he has since transformed his game in Italy. Last season, he struck 19 goals in Serie A and netted 25 times across all competitions — a career-best that has reignited his reputation as a clinical finisher. His hunger to return to the Premier League is reportedly strong, and he views a move to Old Trafford as the perfect opportunity to silence his critics and prove himself at the highest level.
With Rasmus Hojlund only scoring four Premier League goals last season and missing 22 big chances, United are clearly in need of more reliable options up front. Kean’s resurgence and raw power could offer a much-needed boost. His style — aggressive, quick, and fearless — aligns well with Amorim’s high-intensity approach. Former coach Thomas Tuchel once described Kean as “fearless”, and talent scout Jacek Kulig has labeled him “top-class”, reinforcing the belief that he’s now a much more complete striker.
If United successfully bring in both Mbeumo and Kean, the tactical possibilities open up considerably. Mbeumo, who also created 17 big chances last season from wide areas, could be used more creatively on the right flank. That would allow Kean to take on the central striker role, with Cunha floating behind in support — a trio capable of troubling any defense in the league.
With Amorim in full control of transfers and keen to craft a dynamic frontline, Manchester United’s evolving attack could soon become one of the most dangerous in Europe.
