One Manchester United star has admitted the club “need help” heading into the summer transfer window as a deal for Matheus Cunha progresses.
There are only a couple weeks left of Manchester United’s season and many cannot wait for it to be over after a dismal Premier League campaign.
Potential glory in the Europa League awaits this week but there are huge issues that need to be solved in the summer window even if Ruben Amorim’s men win against Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao.
So many different areas of the team need to be strengthened, particularly in the forward line. An increased level of depth across the board is crucial.
Matheus Cunha seems like the first player who the club are targeting to add to their forward line and a deal for the Wolves star has been progressing in recent weeks.
Maguire admits United squad needs help through transfers
Harry Maguire has been reflecting on United’s struggles this week, labelling the season as “embarrassing”. But he also thinks that things will turn around for the club.
Interestingly, the defender highlighted the need for signings this summer and stated that the current squad “need help” to improve, with competition for places being something they need.
“I believe things will turn around quickly – we’re setting a culture now,” Maguire told Sky Sports.
“The results haven’t been good enough, embarrassing but it’s not too far away from turning.
“We need more players in the summer, we need help. I want as many as we can [players] to make the squad competitive so people can compete for places.
“I want to be in a successful team and want good players through the door. The club will get it right in the summer and we will improve a lot.”
Maguire’s surprise admission shows United’s struggles
It isn’t everyday that you hear a player desperately calling for signings to be made. Maguire’s comments are surprising but showcase what every fan already knows.
There isn’t enough quality in United’s squad and the current players are aware of that. There are too many players who can play poorly and not lose their position in the team since there are no alternatives.

Someone like Maguire has already dealt with competition in the best way, and he wants there to be more. Other players in the squad have to have that same mentality or leave.
With Cunha on the way, and a deal for Liam Delap also being worked on, the Reds are seemingly starting to prepare to give Maguire exactly what he wants in the squad next season.
