Manchester United Transfer News Today – July 13, 2025
Manchester United are leading the transfer headlines this week. With pre-season activities in full swing, boss Rúben Amorim is overhauling the team for the 2025/26 campaign. From a potential blockbuster exit of Marcus Rashford to an almost-deal for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, get the latest and most detailed rundown of Manchester United transfer news today.
Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United: Deal Almost There
Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. The 25-year-old forward has been a Red Devils long-term transfer target, and negotiations are reportedly in an advanced stage. Old Trafford insiders confirm United are optimistic of clinching the move before embarking on their U.S. pre-season tour early next week.
Mbeumbo's signing will bring pace, flair, and threat—three things United sorely lacked last season. Supporters should expect a formal announcement any day now if all medical and contractual matters are sorted.
Onana Injury Triggers Goalkeeper Hunt
First-choice stopper Andre Onana suffered a hamstring injury during training and will be sidelined for 5 to 8 weeks, which means he will miss United's pre-season tour and possibly their opening Premier League game. United has been forced to reopen the goalkeeper market as a result of this setback.
Top targets are:
- Diogo Costa (Porto)
- Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa)
- Yassine Bounou (Al Hilal)
The club is seeking short-term and long-term alternatives to ensure defensive solidity as Onana recovers.

Marcus Rashford Linked with Barcelona Move
The largest Manchester United transfer news of the day is that Marcus Rashford, as it seems, is Barcelona's No.1 summer target. La Liga giants Barcelona reportedly have a price tag of around €48 million on the England international's head, and preliminary talks are underway.
Rashford, it is claimed, would be willing to make the switch, especially after a disappointing campaign at United. Losing a homegrown star such as Rashford would be an emotional and tactical blow, but with Amorim eager to rebuild the side, no player can be ruled out.
Youth Development Continues: Harley Emsden-James Signs
Manchester United have also signed 16-year-old centre-back Harley Emsden-James from Southampton as the latest move under Amorim's push to youth-proof the club for the future.
Apart from this, United are also in advanced stages of signing two other 16-year-old midfielders: Seth Ridgeon and Tyrese Noubissie, showcasing a long-term approach in line with the club's traditional faith in youth development.
