Manchester United Transfer News: Latest Updates
Manchester United are making waves in the summer transfer window as they push to secure key targets ahead of the new Premier League season. Here’s the latest on their pursuit of top talent.
De Ligt Deal Edges Closer
Erik ten Hag is keen to reunite with Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt, and negotiations are progressing well. The Dutch centre-back, who previously worked under Ten Hag at Ajax, could bolster United’s backline significantly.
Reports suggest that personal terms are not an issue, and the clubs are now haggling over the transfer fee. Bayern are holding out for around £42 million, but United hope to negotiate a lower price.
Zirkzee Talks Accelerate
Another Dutch star on United’s radar is Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee. The 23-year-old has a £34 million release clause, and while AC Milan were initially favourites, United have now entered the race.
Zirkzee’s versatility and potential make him an attractive option, especially with Anthony Martial’s departure leaving a gap in the squad.
Other Targets in Sight
- Manuel Ugarte – PSG’s midfielder remains a backup option if a deal for another target falls through.
- Jarrad Branthwaite – Everton’s young defender is still on the radar, though his £70 million valuation remains a stumbling block.
- Leny Yoro – Lille’s teenage sensation is being monitored, but Real Madrid are leading the chase.
Outgoings: Sancho and Greenwood Updates
Jadon Sancho is expected to leave Old Trafford, with Borussia Dortmund keen on another loan deal. Meanwhile, Mason Greenwood continues to attract interest from Marseille, though a permanent move is yet to be finalised.
United are also open to offers for several fringe players as they look to balance the books.
What’s Next?
With pre-season underway, Ten Hag will want new signings integrated as soon as possible. Will De Ligt and Zirkzee be the first major arrivals? Stay tuned for more updates.
