Manchester United needs a new striker this summer, and Manchester United's signings are being helped with a series of transfers to happen in Barcelona. Manchester United is reportedly approaching signing a new striker this summer, while Marcus Rashford's transfer to Barcelona is growing.

Amorin is said to be seeking an upgrade to strengthen his forward trident after Brian Mbomo joins Matheus Cunha through Old Trafford. United have spent £62.5 million to bring in Cunha from Wolves and seem to be ready to spend a similar amount to secure the Mbomo's deal.

However, before they can further enhance, a player transfer is required, and Amorin is still looking for a striker and a dynamic midfielder.

It is reported that Marcus Rashford, Anthony, Jaden Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho are all likely to be sold as part of a major offensive line reform. The funds raised and the wages released by the four players from leaving the team may be used to fund their introduction of another striker.

Meanwhile, Rashford takes a major step towards his dream of transfer to Barcelona, ​​with one of Hansi Flick's strikers giving up.

Marcus Rashford's dream transfer to Barcelona has made new progress

According to Fabricio Romano, Barcelona winger Ansu Fati will undergo a medical examination in Monaco on Friday and will then leave Camp Nou.

The 22-year-old will be loaned to Monaco for one season, but the Ligue 1 club has the right to turn the deal permanently next summer.

Barcelona was unable to transfer Fati during the January transfer window, a key factor in their lack of interest in Rashford to lead to a formal offer.

However, the champion team, who is said to be currently playing for La Liga, plans to loan the 27-year-old after ensuring a deal with Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao. United is believed to be more inclined to sell, but if Barcelona bear most or all of Rashford’s salary, United may agree to loan Rashford again.

Manchester United reportedly priced Rashford for £40 million, which is the amount Aston Villa chose to dissatisfie after his loan period ended last season.

Leases with purchase options or obligations do not provide full profits on the enhanced transfer budget, but it can save millions of dollars on the payroll.

Meanwhile, permanent transfer plans for Anthony, Sancho and Garnacho are also underway. Real Betis hopes to bring in Anthony after he was successfully loaned in Sevilla last season, while Fenerbahce is leading the way in chasing Sancho.

Ganacho's possible destination has not been confirmed, but the 20-year-old winger is reportedly looking to stay in the Premier League and is considering a transfer to London.
