INEOS Must Give Ruben Amorim The Players He Asks For This Summer – Paul Parker

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has been told how many signings his team needs to avoid more embarrassment in 2025-26. Club legend, Paul Parker recently revealed that the negative atmosphere around Old Trafford could easily worsen if the recruitment department fail to do a good job.

Speaking during an interview with GOAL, the two-time Premier League winner urged United’s part-owners, INEOS, to be more proactive in the transfer market to help Ruben Amorim.

According to him, MUFC will need at least 4 new signings to even compete with the top EPL clubs next season, so the sluggish transfer dealings so far will not cut it.

He stated that if the club fails to bring in the right players this summer, the atmosphere will be very negative in the dressing room.

Parker stressed that Old Trafford became the Theatre of Nightmares towards the end of last season, and the lack of inspiring signings is not a good sign ahead of the new season.

“For Man Utd to just compete against anyone and not let themselves down, they need at least four more signings.

They can’t carry on where they are at this moment in time because they’ll start next season and it will still be negative in the dressing room and with the fans. It became the Theatre of Nightmares towards the end of last season,” he said.

Reports have said that Manchester United are having trouble raising extra funds for new signings through player sales.

Ruben Amorim had wanted the unhappy quartet of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony sold before the start of pre-season, but United have yet to find any potential suitors willing to match the players’ wage demands.

As it stands, the manager is still working with a squad largely assembled by his predecessor, Erik ten Hag, and it remains to be seen if he would get the backing needed to rebuild the team in his image.
