Manchester United Transfer News
1. €90 m Offer for Aurélien Tchouaméni Declined
Real Madrid have turned down United's €90 million (£78 m) offer for French holding midfielder Tchouaméni. Club sources say Rúben Amorim considers the midfielder his ideal partner for Bruno Fernandes in revamped 3‑4‑2‑1, but Madrid "have no intention of selling." (The Sun, FourFourTwo)
⚡ 2. Bryan Mbeumo Deal "Very Close"
Brentford negotiations are advanced, United having no doubt it will sign an £65 million transfer before the team departs for the U.S. on 17 July for pre‑season. The prolific striker would add pace, pressing and Premier‑League‑proved end‑product. (Sky Sports)
3. Teenage Centre‑Back Harley Emsden‑James Signs
United have beaten Chelsea, Spurs and Newcastle to sign 16‑year‑old Southampton prodigy after a 14‑month pursuit—continuing the club's youth recruitment drive that had already signed Matheus Cunha (22) and left‑back Diego Leon (18). (Aftonbladet)
4. Ederson (Atalanta) Talks In Progress
Whilst Madrid holds out for Tchouaméni, United have resumed talks over Brazilian midfielder Ederson. Atalanta value him at £50 m+; United are hoping add‑ons related to appearances will fill the gap. (FourFourTwo)
5. Jadon Sancho Juventus Move Looms Imminent
Positive negotiations with Juve would see Sancho depart for around £25 million, freeing up wages and a team spot for Mbeumo. Napoli remain interested if those talks break down. (The Sun)
6. Striker Options: Free‑Agent Trio + Dušan Vlahović Watch
United are short‑listing out‑of‑contract Premier‑League campaigners Jamie Vardy, Callum Wilson and Dominic Calvert‑Lewin as bargain‑basement back‑up. Meanwhile, they will pounce on Vlahović if Juventus terminate his contract prior to 31 August. (The Sun)
What Amorim's Rebuild Means
| Area | Priority Target | Backup Plan | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. 6 Midfielder | Tchouaméni | Ederson | Opens up a double‑pivot, protecting defence and releasing Fernandes downfield |
| Right-Sided Forward | Mbeumo | Keep Sancho | Offers pace, end-ball accuracy, fits Amorim's high-press |
| Striker Depth | Vlahović (opportunistic) | Vardy/Wilson/Calvert‑Lewin | Guards against Højlund injury, saves cash for 2026 |
Key Dates to Watch
- 17 July – Squad travels to U.S.; United desire Mbeumo on the plane.
- 27 July – Friendly vs LA Galaxy; opportunity to unveil new signings.
- 31 August – Sancho departure & striker signing due to firm up late on Premier-Leagues transfer deadline.
Quick Take
"United's window is a considered blend of youth investment, midfield muscle, and value hunting in attack. If Mbeumo signs and one of Tchouaméni/Ederson comes in, Amorim's spine will be unrecognisable—and way more aggressive—come opening day."
Rolling updates to follow as negotiations accelerate.
