🚨 Jason Wilcox on Manchester United’s striker and midfield targets ahead of the summer transfer window:
🗣️ “We know exactly where improvements are needed and we’re working very hard behind the scenes.
In attack, we’re looking at players who can bring goals, quality, experience and the right mentality to play for Manchester United.
There have been a lot of names mentioned publicly such as Robert Lewandowski, Harry Kane and Rafael Leão, and it’s normal for a club like Manchester United to be linked with top players.
In midfield, there are also players being discussed, including Ederson, João Neves, Morgan Rogers and others who have impressed in recent seasons.
What matters most to us is not just talent.
We want players who are hungry, players who can handle pressure and players who genuinely want to represent Manchester United.
The recruitment process is about finding the right profile, not just the biggest name.
We have a clear plan and we’re focused on building a squad that can compete consistently and bring success back to the football club.”

😳 Last year, Nottingham Forest pushed for Crystal Palace to be removed from the Europa League over John Textor’s ownership situation.
Palace were dropped into the UEFA Conference League instead… and ended up WINNING the competition to qualify for the Europa League anyway. 🏆
Meanwhile, Forest went into the Europa League, won nothing, and now won’t play European football next season. 🤯
Football Karma is REAL.
