Manchester United Strengthens Attack Before New Season Kickoff

As Manchester United prepare for the 2025-26 Premier League season, the club has been busy strengthening its squad. According to the article, the Red Devils have completed deals for established Premier League stars Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, adding firepower to their attack.

In addition to these signings, United have had a successful preseason campaign. They drew Everton and beat West Ham and Bournemouth to win the Summer Series in the United States. The article notes that this has been a "positive preseason (and summer, in general)" for the club.

The latest news is that RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is reportedly also on his way to Manchester, further bolstering United's attacking options. However, the midfield remains a "big question mark" heading into the new season, with Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo given the opportunity to cement themselves as the central pairing.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, have had a quieter summer of transfer business. The Viola have made Nicolo Fagioli's loan from Juventus permanent and sold Nicolas Gonzalez in the opposite direction. Stefano Pioli has also taken over as the new head coach, leading the team into Europa Conference League qualification later this month.

This preseason clash between Manchester United and Fiorentina at Old Trafford is seen as a "big, big moment" for the Red Devils, a chance to "restore some positive vibes" and steer clear of a repeat of last season's struggles.
