Manchester United Transfer News
Manchester United's summer recruitment push is gaining strength with the club pushing forward aggressively in seeking attacking reinforcements while addressing outstanding outgoings. Ahead of Ruben Amorim taking over the squad, today's headlines are dominated by United's reported interest in Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson, Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, and a turn in Alejandro Garnacho's destiny.
⚽ Nicolas Jackson on Manchester United's Radar
Manchester United are monitoring Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson closely, with the Red Devils reportedly willing to snap him up if Chelsea considers adding an additional forward this window. Jackson, whose 2024/25 campaign was a up-and-down affair at Stamford Bridge, could see his first-team opportunities dwindle further still if Chelsea targets an influx of a big-name frontman.
Manchester United consider Jackson to be a high-upside target with regard to his Premier League experience, work rate, and agility in the final third, says The Times. Amorim requires more depth and competition upfront with Rasmus Højlund still developing.
Bryan Mbeumo Bid Rejected – United Remain in Pursuit
Manchester United have now submitted two formal bids for Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo, the second of which was £55 million plus £7.5 million in add-ons. However, Brentford are holding out for a minimum of £65 million, it has been stated by FourFourTwo.
The 25-year-old Cameroon international is Amorim's perfect right-wing solution, offering speed, creativity, and end-product. Fans might be getting frustrated on social media with the length of the negotiations, but United's board is confident a deal can be agreed in the near future.
Garnacho Rejects Saudi Bid – Chelsea Exchange Rumors Surface
In a shocking turn of events, Alejandro Garnacho rejected a massive offer from Al Nassr to stay in Europe and continue developing his talents at the elite level. The Argentine winger, who is a fan favorite at Old Trafford, is on the radar of several top-flight European clubs.
The Sun report that Chelsea are exploring a swap deal for Garnacho and Christopher Nkunku, but United are not currently willing to part with one of their brightest young talents.
Amorim sees Garnacho as being key to the future of the club, but the chance of a high-profile transfer has not been entirely ruled out if it can be employed to help finance other key transfers.
Corentin Tolisso Offered to Manchester United
Manchester United have also been offered the chance to sign Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso, as cited by The Guardian. The ex-Bayern Munich player would add some much-needed experience in midfield, especially if United decide to sell Casemiro or Christian Eriksen.
Tolisso, aged 30, is entering the final year of his contract and can likely be sold at a discount price.
