As the transfer window is now open again until 1 September, we asked for you to tell us one player you want to bring to Manchester United and one player you want the club to sell.
Here are some of your comments:
Carl: Semenyo in and Sancho out, one brings balance and the other endless problems.
James: Sell Garnacho and buy Gyokeres. He is a proven goalscorer.
David: Onana out, he's just not consistent. Toney in. We need a proven Premier League standard striker. We can't afford another 'let's hope he's good enough' type from a lower standard league.
Tim: Sell Luke Shaw and buy Marc Guehi.
Martin: Gyokores in and Hojlund out. We need to score more goals and this could be the season defining transfer.
Faisal: Sell Onana and replace him with Porto keeper Diogo Costa.
James: I would sell Garnacho and buy Wharton. Garnacho should fetch a decent fee and will do wonders from a PSR perspective. He is also a winger which doesn't truly fit Amorim's system. Wharton will bring a genuine, disciplined and athletic deep lying midfield playmaker which will allow Bruno to push up to more attacking areas where he is at his best. It will take a huge fee and wages to convince Palace to sell up and Wharton to go to a club with no European football.

Image source, Getty ImagesThere are a lot of rumours and counter rumours but I am not getting the impression Manchester United are concerned about their attempt to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford falling through.
Tottenham are keen on Mbeumo, who spoke to Sky Sports yesterday from the pit lane ahead of the F1 race in Montreal.
Mbeumo made it clear he did not want to talk about his future but did say he wished his old boss Thomas Frank good luck at Tottenham.
That could be interpreted in many ways - but mainly shows Mbeumo is on holiday and no deal around him is likely to be done in the near future.
United are looking to beef up their forward line, and have been linked with a number of centre forwards, although Rasmus Hojlund said on international duty recently that he wants to stay with the Old Trafford club.

Image source, Getty ImagesHotel Football opened in March 2015
The Class of 92 and co-owner Peter Lim are looking for strategic investment into Hotel Football.
The hotel, situated barely 50 yards from Old Trafford, has become a popular matchday venue for Manchester United fans since it opened in March 2015.
Lim owns 75% of the hotel, with the Class of 92 having the remaining 25%.
Hotel Football's latest accounts show it made a loss of £601,000 to 31 December 2023, although it generated a healthy operating profit of £590,430 and recorded a 21% growth in revenues.
The investment is required for improvements to the cafe area, bedrooms and corridors. The search is in its very early stages, with sources confirming privately the ownership is open minded about the size and type of investment and whether it would result in a partial sale of the company.
It is being stressed the move is completely different to the backdrop that led to a new ownership group, which includes former United stars David Beckham and Gary Neville, that took over at League Two Salford City last month.
Unlike Salford, Hotel Football does not require investment to help with day-to-day running costs. And, while he decided to pull out of Salford, Lim is happy to retain a significant interest in Hotel Football if negotiations allow.
The transfer window is open again for summer business to be conducted.
Clubs can now strike deals until the deadline at 19:00 BST on 1 September.
So if you can sell one player, who is it? And if you can buy one player only, who gets the nod?
Give us reasons for your choice but remember, in this instance it's a strict one player leaving and one coming in.

Eight years on from his debut and Angel Gomes will never forget his Manchester United roots.
Now capped by England and set for a move to Marseille, he remains a player firmly on the rise.
Despite leaving Old Trafford for Lille five years ago, Gomes says he still owes a lot to his football education in Manchester.
"From the moment you step into the place, the coaches are telling you about the history of the club," explains Gomes.
"The Busby Babes, they show you pictures of George Best and Bobby Charlton. The culture is set early.
"You know everything about the club and what it represents. It's just something that you carry."
After limited first team chances, Gomes left for France in 2020 and has gone on to establish himself as a top midfielder.
And whilst he is aware of the significance of playing for Manchester United, he feels several factors can impact a players success at Old Trafford.
"Players may have been intimidated or not really know about the weight [of the shirt], what it carries and what it takes.
"But ultimately, sometimes, it's down to environment, timing and having the right things in place to help you.
"Sometimes it's not as black and white as they failed or they've not held their own there because of the weight of the shirt."

Away from the Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup and European Under-21 championships, there are a few other football tournaments going on.
The prestigious Under-20 Tournoi Maurice Revello concluded in France yesterday, with the host nation beating Saudi Arabia in Sunday's final.
Manchester United striker Chido Obi missed out on the main prizes as Denmark finished third in the competition and France's Steve Ngoura won the player of the tournament.
However, Chido's two goals in the group stage were enough for him to win the organiser's 'Special Award', which is pretty good for a 17-year-old.
United boss Ruben Amorim wasn't expecting Chido to make the progress he did last season, which is why he wasn't picked in the Europa League squad for the knockout rounds when it was submitted in February.
Chido ended up making eight senior appearances, seven as a substitute - and while he didn't score then, he did find the net on the post-season trip to Hong Kong.
With United determined to strengthen their striking department, it will be fascinating to see what 2025-26 has in store for the former Arsenal youngster.

Image source, Getty ImagesMonday marks the start of the transfer window re-opening, so teams can now do business until 1900 BST on 1 September.
The most obvious departures are the players who finished last season out on loan and are deemed surplus to requirements.
Yet is it conceivable further deals for Marcus Rashford, Antony or Jadon Sancho could be done early? Probably not.
Indeed, the wages at United are so high, and the performances have been so far below expectations, it is not clear to see what deals might be done quickly.
Alejandro Garnacho has been told he can leave, which suggests he will not return for pre-season training early in July.
There is interest in the young Argentina international. The same is also true of England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, although United are more minded to keep him.
Turkey goalkeeper Altay Bayindir might be one to watch. He now knows he will not be United's first choice, having lost out to Andre Onana in the Europa League final and, in World Cup year, is eager to get regular first-team football again.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe had the speculation, the approach, the agreement, the announcement and finally, the confirmation of Matheus Cunha's move to Manchester United from Wolves.
Now we have had the first extended interview on United's media platforms.
It was filmed at Old Trafford before Cunha went on international duty with Brazil, with former United and Watford striker Danny Webber.
A couple of things stood out.
First, Cunha's explanation for why he chose to move to Old Trafford after United's worst season in over half a century, and then, why he thinks it is the right time.
"My decision [is] maybe [strange] to the outside, when you have a choice to go a different way," he said.
"But no-one is like United. I know it was a hard season for everyone but my decision shows what the club means to me and what I believe this club can be."
Cunha had a few disciplinary issues towards the end of his stay at Wolves. He was banned for two games in December after attacking a member of the Ipswich coaching staff at Molineux.
He then had a one match suspension extended by a further game in March after he had 'punched and headbutted' Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez during an FA Cup defeat.
Despite this, Cunha feels he is learning valuable lessons.
"I am more mature," he said. "I try to learn from mistakes. It is the perfect moment for me to come here."

Image source, Getty ImagesTottenham are interested in signing Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo - who is also a transfer target for Manchester United.
The 25-year-old's former manager at Brentford, Thomas Frank, was named Spurs boss on Thursday.
Earlier this month, Mbeumo was the subject of a bid from United of £45m and £10m in add-ons.
However, no agreement was reached between the two clubs, with the offer falling well short of Brentford's valuation.
Sources have told BBC Sport that Spurs are yet to submit a bid for Mbeumo and there has been further interest in him from other Champions League clubs on the continent.
It is understood there is no release clause in Mbeumo's contract, which still has a year left to run, although there is the option to extend it by another year.
Mbeumo has scored 70 goals in 242 appearances for Brentford since arriving in west London in 2019 from Ligue 2 club Troyes.
The Cameroon international scored 20 times in the Premier League last season.
Image source, Getty ImagesPortugese football expert Kevin Fernandes spoke to BBC Radio Manchester about the likelehood of Viktor Gyokeres leaving Sporting CP this summer: "If he sees that there is no movement, and given that it is a crucial time to get his move, he might get impatient and his agent might have to tell him that he has to force his way out of there. For Gyokeres, this might be now or never in his mind."
On the clubs that are interested, he added: "Manchester United are definitely the top runners, with some saying that Juventus are. Even if there hasn't been any offers yet, there is definitely concrete interest in Gyokeres.
"It does look like he will eventually leave this summer."

Image source, Getty ImagesNew Manchester United signing Matheus Cunha has 27 goals in 65 Premier League appearances over the past two seasons and is regarded at Old Trafford as someone who can make an instant impact, while at the same time adding experience to the team.
"United are lucky they still have their historic appeal and reputation as a club, so players of the Brazilian's quality and potential want to move there," former England midfielder Fara Williams told BBC Sport.
"If he does, there is no doubt he improves the squad."
Creativity, movement and sharp finishing - Cunha's flair and drive have often made the difference in tight games.
He has been the heartbeat of Wolves' attacking threat, scoring crucial goals, linking up play and unpicking defences with moments of individual brilliance.
In addition, in 2024-25 he equalled the record for the most goals scored by a Brazilian player in a Premier League season, alongside Roberto Firmino (2017-18) and Gabriel Martinelli (2022-23).
"Cunha has everything a United team would want," added Williams.
"You cannot question the qualities he possesses and the attitude he has in-game in terms of wanting to do anything to win."
Cunha first played as a number nine at Wolves but those who have watched him regularly over the past couple of years say his best position is as a left-sided number 10.
His natural inclination is to come deep and get the ball, and his strengths include running at defenders and finishing.
His 2024-25 numbers match up to those of United captain Bruno Fernandes.
Cunha scored six times from outside the box - the same number as Fernandes managed. Cunha also registered 51 attempts on target - again, the same number as Fernandes.
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United's new signing Matheus Cunha says he has "dreamed" of a move to the Red Devils since he was a child watching the Premier League at his grandmother's house.
Cunha scored 15 times and assisted on six occasions in the league for Wolves last season, contributing to 21 of the club's 54 goals in the competition.
"It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player," said Cunha.
"Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality.
"I can't wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top."
Cunha's combined 21 goals and assists is better than any United player has managed in either of the past two Premier League seasons.
In 2024-25, captain Bruno Fernandes produced eight goals and 11 assists, while in the previous season his combined total was 18.
United director of football Jason Wilcox said: "Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer.
"He has proved his ability to succeed in the Premier League as one of the most exciting and productive forwards in England during his time at Wolves, and before that in Spain and Germany.
"He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours."

Image source, Manchester United on XManchester United have unveiled their home kit for the 2025-26 season.
The club says it has been inspired by Old Trafford and features different shades of red to signify the different parts of the ground, which Sir Jim Ratcliffe confirmed earlier this year would be demolished as part of his £2bn new stadium plans.
It also contains a "Theatre of Dreams" inscription on the back of the collar.
"The colour red is fundamental to the club's DNA. There have been many different expressions of it over the years and, for this season, we wanted to do something a little different, using the sleeves as a canvas," Adidas senior design director Jurgen Rank.
"The abstract graphic stays true to the club's DNA while providing an innovative look and feel to an otherwise classy and classic jersey."
United say there are two versions of the shirt - one for the players, which they have been consulted on and features the latest technology available to manufacturers Adidas, and a fan version, which the club says helps keep the body dry.
