Manchester United Transfer News: Latest Updates and Rumours
Manchester United are pushing ahead with their summer transfer plans as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new Premier League season. The Red Devils have been linked with several high-profile targets, including Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt.
Defensive Reinforcements a Priority
United have reportedly made progress in their pursuit of Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, though negotiations continue over the fee. The 21-year-old English defender is seen as a long-term solution at the back.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt has emerged as another defensive target. The Dutch international could be available this summer, with United monitoring the situation closely.
Zirkzee Deal Nearing Completion
Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee appears set to join Manchester United, with personal terms reportedly agreed. The 23-year-old Dutch forward would provide competition for Rasmus Hojlund in United's attack.
Potential Departures
As new arrivals come in, several players could be heading for the exit. Donny van de Beek is expected to leave permanently after his loan spell at Eintracht Frankfurt, while United may listen to offers for other squad players to raise transfer funds.
Pre-Season Preparations
With pre-season training underway, Ten Hag will be keen to finalise his squad as soon as possible. United's first pre-season friendly is scheduled for July 15 against Rosenborg in Norway.
