Manchester United have been keeping tabs on Brighton’s midfield powerhouse Carlos Baleba all summer, but a reported sell-on clause in his contract is being viewed as a major stumbling block to thrash out a transfer deal. At just 21, the Cameroonian has already caught the eye with his fierce tackling, lung-busting runs, and fearless energy at the heart of the Seagulls’ engine room. But United’s admiration has quickly collided with harsh financial reality.
Rasmus Hojlund’s anticipated loan switch to AC Milan is hanging by a thread, with the Italian giants reportedly closing in on Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface instead. The 22-year-old Danish striker had been poised for a season-long loan to the San Siro after falling down the pecking order at Manchester United following the club’s signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
Napoli have initiated fresh transfer talks with Manchester United outcast Rasmus Hojlund, as they look to replace the injured Romelu Lukaku in their squad. Hojlund has been part of Amorim's 'bomb squad' since the start of United's pre-season and with Benjamin Sesko's arrival at the club, it is evident that the Danish forward no longer features in the United coach's plans.
Wayne Rooney has claimed that Manchester United "would be crazy" not to swoop for Champions League winner Gianluigi Donnarumma before the summer transfer deadline. The Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper is expected to leave the club and Rooney hopes United can win the race for his signature.
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has urged the club to be patient while dealing with Ruben Amorim as the Frenchman believes that continuously changing managers won't solve the club's ongoing issues. Evra also backed his former team to bounce back in the 2025-26 campaign and surprise everyone, although United started the new season with a loss against Arsenal at home.
Bayern Munich made an audacious move to snatch Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho away from the Chelsea, who remain favourites to land the Argentina international following his public falling out with Ruben Amorim.
Manchester United are not expected to sign a new goalkeeper during the transfer window, despite the issues around first-choice stopper Andre Onana and following the howler made by Altay Bayindir during the defeat by Arsenal at the weekend.
Manchester United’s summer hunt for a new goalkeeper took a dramatic turn when their interest in Aston Villa star Emiliano Martinez hit a dead end. Despite strong pleas from manager Ruben Amorim, the club’s hierarchy reportedly refused to spend big on the Argentine World Cup winner.
Casemiro has insisted that he is "very happy" at Manchester United, shutting down speculation over his future. The Brazilian midfield general, often painted as a fading star on the wrong side of 30, came out swinging after United’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, insisting he remains fully committed to the club.
Marcus Rashford has been given a strange new nickname at Barcelona that he doesn't understand, with the Manchester United loanee aiming to learn Spanish "as soon as possible". The 27-year-old attacker was part of the infamous “bomb squad” at Old Trafford alongside Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia – a group that Ruben Amorim deemed surplus to requirements. Barcelona swooped for Rashford last month, sealing a season-long loan that includes the option to buy him outright next summer.
Rasmus Hojlund is in line for a reunion with Scott McTominay as Napoli are reportedly attempting to hijack AC Milan's move for the Manchester United striker. Antonio Conte had placed his faith in Romelu Lukaku to lead Napoli’s title defence, but that plan is in tatters after the Belgian powerhouse pulled up with a thigh problem in a pre-season clash with Olympiakos. The injury will rule him out for around three months, leaving Napoli scrambling to find a reliable replacement.
Arsenal continued their incredible record against the Premier League's elite clubs after Riccardo Calafiori’s towering header secured the three points in a scrappy win at Manchester United. This victory left Mikel Arteta’s men with a glittering statistic: 22 straight matches unbeaten against the traditional "Big Six" of the English top flight.
