Manchester United are preparing for a busy summer transfer window as Michael Carrick continues reshaping his squad for next season.
The Red Devils secured a return to the Champions League after finishing inside the top four last season. That achievement brought fresh optimism to Old Trafford. However, it also increased the need for greater squad depth.
Unlike the previous campaign, United will face the demands of playing twice a week across multiple competitions. As a result, the club want to strengthen several areas of the squad this summer.
Midfield remains a major priority following the arrival of Ederson from Atalanta. However, United are also exploring attacking options ahead of the new season.
According to Sky Sports, Manchester United are working on a move for Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo.
The Belgian attacker enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in Ligue 1 and has attracted attention from several clubs across Europe. Fernandez-Pardo made 29 league appearances for Lille last season.
The 21-year-old contributed 13 goals and assists during those matches and established himself as one of the club’s most promising young players.
The forward will also represent Belgium at the World Cup this summer. His performances on the international stage could further increase interest in his future.
It also remains unclear whether Fernandez-Pardo would prioritise a move to Old Trafford if talks advance. For now, United continue monitoring the situation as they assess attacking targets for the summer market.
