Under new boss Ruben Amorim, United have splashed over £127 million to bring in Matheus Cunha from Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.
Cunha was signed for £62.5m, while Mbeumo arrived for £65m—potentially rising to £71m with add-ons based on performance incentives.
Both forwards impressed last season: Cunha netted 17 goals in all competitions; Mbeumo recorded an impressive 20-goal haul in the Premier League.
After ending the previous campaign with a negative goal difference, United made attacking reinforcements a top priority this transfer window.
Their 75 combined Premier League goals signal an intent to invest in ready-made players who can deliver from day one.
This represents a pivot from past windows where United gambled on foreign talents like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee from Serie A, reports Isoccer.
Ferguson’s hallmark was signing domestic stars like Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand—players who blended quality with Premier League experience.
Gary Neville once described the strategy as youth first, then elite domestic signings. Amorim appears to be following the same winning formula.
Fans now hope this approach ends recent struggles and brings silverware back to Old Trafford.
