Man Utd weigh winger moves, reshape keeper and midfield plans
After missing Anderson and Mateus Fernandes, United’s ‘dream’ midfield touted is Tchouameni (~£100m) plus Bournemouth’s Alex Scott (~£60m), alongside Ederson (£35m), to anchor Carrick’s revamped engine room.
Manchester United target a Welsh wonderkid from Swansea City, the son of a famous former player, with a summer move expected.
United near a double deal including Wales U21 keeper Kit Margetson, likely loaned to the EFL. Midfield focus shifts from Wharton and £100m-rated Baleba towards Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, with Tchouameni admired.
United show strong interest in Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr after 21-goal season and World Cup form. Contact made with his camp, fee could triple €15m. Interest may overtake Summerville, Rashford future key.
United eye Wolves’ Sam Johnstone as homegrown backup to Senne Lammens, with Onana to leave on loan. The 33-year-old would fill a deputy role, while Wolves seek a fee after his limited appearances.
Andre Onana agrees a second loan to Trabzonspor for 2026-27, with a loan fee up to £1.3m and no option to buy. With Altay Bayindir also set to go, United plan a new keeper to compete with Senne Lammens.
United explore Summerville with West Ham but a winger likely needs Rashford to leave. After missing out on £85m Mateus Fernandes, they assess Bournemouth’s Alex Scott and will add a keeper if Altay Bayindir exits.
Milan will sell Rafael Leao for at least €60m. Manchester United and Barcelona have made initial approaches, Tottenham were offered him, but no formal bids yet. Leao wants a new challenge in Europe.
