Manchester United is preparing for an active transfer window as they look to revamp their squad following a disappointing season. After securing Matheus Cunha from Wolves, the club is setting its sights on further reinforcements, including Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, as they aim to improve their lineup before the 2025-26 campaign.
In recent developments, Marcus Rashford’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain. Reports suggest that United has offered Real Madrid the chance to sign Rashford for £40 million. Nevertheless, the Spanish club is not expected to pursue the opportunity, as they believe Rashford does not fit their current needs. The forward, who had hoped for a move to Barcelona, now faces a bleak situation as the La Liga champions are reportedly focused on other targets.
Additionally, Viktor Gyokeres is another forward linked with a move to Manchester United. His agent is reportedly ready to disclose that the player’s former sporting director at Sporting Lisbon had agreed to a lower transfer fee than his release clause. With strong interest from both Arsenal and Manchester United, Gyokeres appears poised to leave Sporting, although his preferred destination is north London.
Ruben Amorim, Manchester United’s manager, has expressed urgency in securing new players before the team’s pre-season tour in the United States next month. Alongside Cunha, the club is also eyeing potential additions such as Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, as well as Gyokeres, to bolster their attacking options.
The upcoming transfer market holds significant importance for United as they seek to regroup and become more competitive in upcoming campaigns. The focus on new signings and an active transfer strategy could lead to a more fortified squad, offering optimism for the team and its fans moving forward.
