Welcome to today's Manchester United transfer live blog, with the latest rumors, news, and updates on some of the biggest names at Old Trafford, including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, and more. United are navigating a complex winter transfer window with multiple players linked to both potential transfers in and out of the club. Let's dive into the biggest updates!
AC Milan interested in possible loan move for Rashford
The biggest names being thrown around this winter, arguably, have to include Marcus Rashford. Following the comments of the attacker in public recently, many speculated the England international may be on his way out of Old Trafford. If reports coming out of The Times are to be believed, then Italian side AC Milan has emerged as a leading suitor. Milan, though, is reportedly only willing to pay half of Rashford's hefty £325,000-a-week wages during a loan spell.
His representatives, including his brother Dwaine Maynard, have been in Milan negotiating the deal. Milan's highest-paid player, Álvaro Morata, earns around £150,000 per week, and Rashford's wages would be a huge burden. Along with AC Milan, other European giants like Juventus, Napoli, and Borussia Dortmund have also shown interest in bringing the forward in on loan.
While United may be open to a deal to offload some wage pressure, securing a squad that can compete at the highest level is key business for the club. It puts Rashford's future into real doubt the deeper into the window we move.
Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho: Manchester United Not Looking to Sell
Growing concerns about the futures of two of United's most promising young talents, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, have grown. However, Sky Sports reports that Manchester United is not actively looking to sell either player in the January transfer window. Both Mainoo and Garnacho have played important roles in the squad's long-term plans.
Melissa Reddy for Transfer Talk reported that despite the financial squeeze United is under with their PSR and FFP considerations, both players are viewed as important parts of the club's future. Mainoo in particular is regarded as a big talent within the ranks, with United already preparing a new contract to reflect his developing status. Furthermore, the summer arrival of Manuel Ugarte was one that was expected to further shore up Mainoo's position in the team.
Both players are regarded as key men for United going forward and, while the club might have to make some ruthless calls in other departments, Mainoo and Garnacho will remain at Old Trafford for the time being.
Casemiro and Antony: Interest from Europe's Top Clubs
Casemiro, the powerhouse in midfield, and Antony, the winger, also attract interest from abroad. United hasn't shown any indication of wanting to let either of these two players go, but performances over the next few months may determine whether they stay or go. With clubs always wanting the best, United may receive offers they can't refuse.
Casemiro has been at the heart of United's midfield, bringing a great deal of experience and leadership, while Antony has shown glimpses of what he can do. Neither is actively being shopped, but we know how the January window can always bring surprises in the movement of such caliber players.
Randal Kolo Muani Linked to Manchester United
In terms of potential incomings, Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani is a name that has come up repeatedly in transfer discussions. United is reportedly showing interest in the French striker, although it seems more likely that a loan move would be considered at this stage. With Kolo Muani’s skillset and versatility, he could provide a much-needed boost to United’s attacking options.
United's interest, were it to be pursued, would be intent-as ever-on getting in talent that could make an immediate impact under manager Ruben Amorim, and Kolo Muani, with his pace and ability to play anywhere across the forward line, might just fit the bill.
What's Next for United?
There is much for Manchester United to consider this winter, as financial pressures have an influence on their decisions in the market. The likes of Rashford, Garnacho, Mainoo, and Casemiro will remain big talking points throughout the transfer window. While United is not actively looking to sell their key assets, the club may have to balance outgoings with incomings to ensure their squad is both financially stable and competitive.
