Wayne Rooney has urged Sir Jim Ratcliffe to re-sign former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea and beat Chelsea to two deals worth £134m this summer.
Ruben Amorim hopes to bolster his squad at Old Trafford regardless of the outcome of the upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham.
Winning the Bilbao final will not only give Manchester United a major trophy but secure their return to the Champions League.
Lifting the trophy on May 21 will be a huge boost to Amorim, who has watched United slip from 14th to 16th since he replaced Erik ten Hag back in November.
Manchester United were just a few points outside of the Champions League places when Ten Hag was dismissed but United are closer to the relegation zone than Europe with one league game remaining.

A 1-0 loss to Chelsea on Friday night was the Red Devils’ 18th league defeat of the season and means they may still not reach 40 points for the season.
One of the key areas Amorim hopes to strengthen in the summer is up front with £72m signing Rasmus Hojlund enduring a dismal season, scoring just four goals in the Premier League.
Manchester United have expressed interest in Sporting Lisbon talisman Viktor Gyokeres and Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap but Rooney wants long-time Chelsea target Victor Osimhen to arrive at Old Trafford instead.
Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli this summer after spending this season on loan at Galatasaray and scoring 35 goals for the Turkish champions-elect.
Rooney wants United to beat Chelsea to another deal this summer by signing FA Cup-winning captain Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.
Chelsea tried to sign their former academy player last summer and are ready to revive their interest in the £70m-rated England centre-back at the end of the season.
Many Manchester United fans are hoping for a new goalkeeper to arrive through the doors to replace Andre Onana and Rooney appears to agree, suggesting a shock summer move for Old Trafford hero De Gea.
De Gea was forced out of the Theatre of Dreams in 2023 after making over 500 appearances for United and being named the club’s Player of the Year four times.
The ex-Spain international joined Serie A side Fiorentina last summer but Rooney would welcome him back to Manchester United.
Asked which players United should target this summer, Rooney told Amazon Prime: ‘I would probably sign David de Gea back. I think Manchester United have missed him and he could still do a very good job for United.
‘I would sign Victor Osimhen as the No. 9. I think he’s a good striker and would possibly be available this summer.
‘The third one would be difficult but I would try to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. I think he would have a really good impact on the club.’
