Manchester United<\/a>\u2019s \u00a3200m spending spree last summer saw the club land three new attacking talents – with all three additions making an immediate impact at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha were all signed by INEOS 12 months ago to provide the Red Devils squad with the quality they craved in forward areas.<\/p>\n

The trio netted 32 goals combined in the Premier League<\/a> last term, subsequently helping Michael Carrick<\/a>\u2019s men secure Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

However, their respective performances have cemented their places as regular starters under the 25-year-old, which could spell bad news for one other senior squad member.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n What the future holds for Marcus Rashford at Man Utd<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

After netting 30 goals for United during the 2022\/23 campaign, you would be forgiven for thinking attacker Marcus Rashford<\/a> would remain a mainstay within the club\u2019s senior ranks.<\/p>\n

However, the last three years have been nothing but plain sailing for the Englishman, with the 28-year-old being sent on two separate loan spells to recapture his best form.<\/p>\n

He did impress during his latest temporary spell away from Old Trafford, subsequently registering 25 combined goals and assists for Barcelona as they claimed LaLiga title glory.<\/p>\n

Rashford is yet to return to pre-season training after being handed an extended break following his spell at the World Cup, with Carrick providing an update about his pending return.<\/p>\n

Following the draw with PSG on Saturday, the manager said: \u201cWe have got a full squad this week in Dublin. We fly straight there and have a few days where we have the whole group back together.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarcus is part of that, and Kobbie [Mainoo] and Lisandro [Martinez]. We look forward to seeing them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s already been subject to interest from clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia this summer, but for the time being, it appears as though the forward may have a part to play under Carrick.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite the potential return of Rashford this summer, INEOS have been working hard to identify potential attacking reinforcements before the summer window closes.<\/p>\n

Brentford striker Igor Thiago is one player who has emerged on their shortlist<\/a>, but their reluctance to sell has made a deal for the Brazilian international somewhat trickier.<\/p>\n

However, he\u2019s not the only player from that part of the world currently in their sights, with Real Madrid forward Endrick emerging as a surprise transfer target.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been reported by TEAMtalk that United have been in talks with the player\u2019s representatives over the possibility of a move to Old Trafford this summer.<\/p>\n

The report also states that the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also present in the race, with the Spanish giants currently only willing to sanction a loan deal for the 20-year-old.<\/p>\n
