Ruben Amorim admits Man Utd may NOT sign elite striker as he puts goal-scoring burden on new arrivals Matheus Cunha & Bryan Mbeumo

Club Friendlies

Manchester United

Bournemouth

<p>United have had an underwhelming summer transfer window compared to rivals Liverpool and Arsenal, who have signed players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Viktor Gyokeres to bolster their respective attacks. While the Red Devils did <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/completed-man-utd-transfers-2025-26/blt055da0f17a8d4738" target="_blank">sign quality attackers Cunha and Mbeumo</a> from Wolves and Brentford, respectively, they are still lacking an elite No.9 in their squad.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amorim has now admitted that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/happy-ruben-amorim-ready-to-start-new-season-man-utd-admits-red-devils-will-suffer-despite-bryan-mbeumo-matheus-cunha-additions/bltc442c2764dc953c9" target="_blank">United might not sign a new striker</a> this summer, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/man-utd-face-bleak-reality-new-striker-liam-delap-hugo-ekitike-viktor-gyokeres-transfer-pursuits/blt33ce253ac884a43d" target="_blank">which the club are reportedly fearful of internally</a>, as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bryan-mbeumo-matheus-cunha-take-man-utd-another-level-mason-mount-reveals-excitement-new-signings/blt4faac54dcfac51a0" target="_blank">believes Cunha and Mbeumo are capable of taking the responsibility of scoring goals</a> in the 2025-26 campaign. The Portuguese also claimed that existing forwards like Zirkzee and Hojlund will have to prove their worth in order to get into his starting line-up.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters, the 40-year-old said: "They can play as a striker. We have Josh (Zirkzee), we have Rasmus. Our focus is to improve the connection between them. I don't know if the position is there for them. They have to work. They have other players that are fighting for that position. But again, I'm really pleased. </p><p>"They (Cunha and Mbeumo) proved the qualities that they have. They are really humble, that is really important, and the best thing is that they chose to be here. They had other options, Champions League options, they read everything people say about our club at the moment but they chose to be here and that is a key point for me."</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>United will play their first pre-season friendly of their U.S. tour on Sunday as they take on West Ham at MetLife Stadium.</p>
