Manchester United have endured several underwhelming seasons since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013, but have hit a new low in the current campaign. The Red Devils have only managed to win 10 Premier League games this season and are currently placed 16th in the standings ahead of the final matchday. A Europa League win could have somewhat rescued their horror season, but it wasn't to be as they lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the final.

Manchester United are reportedly backing Amorim to stay at Old Trafford and are set to offer the Portuguese coach the ability to sign players of his liking. As per The Guardian, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are set to hand the Red Devils a transfer budget of close to £100 million ($134m) to revamp the squad ahead of next season. United are reportedly set to sign Wolves' Matheus Cunha for a reported fee of £62.5 million ($83.8m), and that would leave them with just enough budget to sign their other reported target, Ipswich Town's Liam Delap, who has a release clause of £30 million ($40.2m).

If the reports about United's transfer budget and summer signings are accurate, they will not have a lot of wiggle room for more signings. As such, the Manchester Evening News has reported that the Red Devils have prioritised the sales of three key players: Marcus Rashford, Antony and Jadon Sancho. Other reports have also suggested the potential departure of Alejandro Garnacho, which could raise a sizeable increase in the transfer budget.

With a lack of European football next season, United's ability to sign new players for the team this summer will be impacted. However, they will be keen on an overhaul in a bid to bounce back from a disastrous campaign.
